WEBVTT - Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard – Full Show June 19th 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:15.400 Onto GV. This is Sydney now with. 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.160 Clinton Thursday June nineteen. It is Clinton maynight here one 0:00:19.200 --> 0:00:21.520 three one eight seven three. I was driving through the 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:24.400 local suburbs in my area this morning and I noticed 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:27.840 all these kids at the ovals taking shots at goals, 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.720 and in front of rugby league posts there were kids 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:33.159 lining up trying to kick some goals and I'm thinking, 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.720 what's happening here on a Thursday morning. This must be 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.880 mums and dads. Saw Zach Lomax miss all those conversions 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.320 for New South Wales last night in Oriegin too, and thought, hey, 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:44.839 there might be an opportunity here. New South Wales might 0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:48.640 be looking for a goalkicker. Unfortunately for the Blues, even 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:51.080 though the game last night was played in AFL territory, 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:54.160 you don't get a point for missing in rugby league 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.280 what you do in Australian rules. But it is a 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.080 lovely afternoon across Sydney, So after school, if you want 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.880 to take the kids down the local park and practice 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:03.720 the goal kicking, or maybe just take the dog for 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:05.919 a walk, do it because it's a beautiful weather across Sydney. 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:08.240 This authternoon plenty coming up on the show if you 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.720 own an electric vehicle, you could soon be paying a 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:14.600 special tax. The government admits because ev drivers don't pay 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:16.960 fuel excise, they're going to need to contribute to our 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.559 roads in other ways. We don't examine how that could work. 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.960 The state government, talking about roads funding, has announced to 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.319 one hundred and fifty six million dollar plan to improve 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.440 roads in Sydney's northwest. But this has sparked a war 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:29.840 of words in Macquarie Street. 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:30.040 Today. 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:31.679 I'm going to have a look at that Mark gyre 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:33.880 and all the fallout from Origin to and the suggestion 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.760 the referee Ashley Climbed, should never referee Origin again. And 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.120 I'm going to spin in two GB's winter wheel. This 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:43.000 is your chance to win hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:45.520 some great prizes as well. Don't call yet, you need 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:47.760 my que to coll later in the program. You are 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:49.920 our eyes and ears when it's happening in Sydney now, 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:53.120 So semi text message zero force zero eight seven three 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.360 eight seven three have you say on one three one 0:01:55.400 --> 0:02:07.000 eight seven three. Well in Sydney now. There are three 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.960 men in custody over allegations they profited from the sale 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:13.120 of fake counterfeit luxury goods and made as much as 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:15.440 ten million dollars from the sales. The profits of their 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.560 alleged crimes then went towards buying high end sports cars, 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:22.040 Lamborghinis and McLaren's. The men have been in caught this 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.960 afternoon seeking bail. A decision on bail will not be 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.440 made today. Detective Superintendent Peter Foe is the commander of 0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.079 the Organized Crime Squad and joins us out. Thank you 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.240 for your time. Detective. How did this operation work? 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:38.040 Yeah, Hi Clinton, thanks for having me. So. Essentially, the 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.680 Organized Crime Squad, we're going to Unexplained Wealth team and 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.720 they look at exactly what this scenario was. People who 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:47.400 are out there living well beyond their means and making 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:52.040 money from any type of crime really, but organized crime. 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.400 And they work closely in with the new South Walest 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.799 Crime Commission. And we identified these people that they've been 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.720 doing this for about three years and went into resolution 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:05.160 on the investigation yesterday finding large amounts of fake, copied 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:10.360 luxury goods and seizing these nine high end luxury motor vehicles. 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.280 So what were they selling? What were the luxury goods? 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:14.040 Oh? 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.480 Look at I mean when we executed the three search 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.400 rights on the premises. It was like going into department store. Essentially. 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:28.400 There's absolutely everything. There's sneakers, clothing, watchers, handbags, everything you 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.919 can think of the high end luxury goods stores sell. 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:33.240 They were selling copies off. 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:35.920 I'm glad you've made these arrests and this is all 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:37.360 going to be played out in court, and that process 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:39.600 to start at the day, Peter, because I've often wondered 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:41.720 when you pull up a set of lights, it can 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.240 be in the suburbs of Sydney and you look at 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.400 the car next to you and it's a Lamborghini, And 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.360 sometimes you look at the driver behind the wheel and 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.200 they look pretty young, and you think, well, you've done 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.560 very well for yourself. Maybe you've had a tech startup 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.280 or something. But you do wonder sometimes where the money 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:56.520 is coming from for these cars. 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.320 Yeah, look, and you know not everyone that drives is 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.560 doing it illegally, but you know, this is a perfect 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:08.120 example of how people can make enough money through committing 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:13.480 crime to sort of build like enough wealth to move 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:17.040 not only extremely large amounts of cash through their bank accounts, 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.760 but by these luxury motive vehicles. One motor vehicle alone 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:25.000 was worth approximately one million dollars out of the vehicles 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.760 we seized, and the title of vehicles were well over 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:33.480 three million dollars in value, So yeah, I mean, and 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:37.600 these people were quite They were blatantly flaunting their wealth 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.640 that they're making from this. You know, they're on social 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.279 media posting things in terms of their wealth. So it's 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.479 always good to get these type of people that. The 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:49.000 best thing is that these people are undermining a legitimate 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:54.640 business and industry. The legitimate business out there trying to 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.960 sell goods and they employ a lot of people and 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.680 those people rely on that employment, so you know, they 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:01.760 mind that whole process and industry. 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:03.800 Of course, this plays out before the courts, but what 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.160 now happens to what you've seized? 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.760 Essentially there, you know, we have all the goods and 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.320 there's you know, we've got a large amount of goods 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.640 to you, well over a thousand different items that we've seized, 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:19.720 and you know they're analyzed and certified as being copies 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.200 or fake or fraudulent, and then it's tirely likely they'll 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:23.839 be destroyed at some stage. 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.680 Okay, thank you for your time, no problems. 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:27.279 Thanks Clinton. 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:30.320 Detective Inspector Peter Foe, who is from the Organized Crime 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.680 squad the command up now. Certainly not our alleging that 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.159 everybody he drives a Ferrari in Sydney is a criminal. 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.000 They're certainly not. But when you pull up at a 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.360 set of lights in some Sydney suburbs and you look 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.279 at the drivers of some of these vehicles and you think, gee, 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.640 twenty two years of age, that kid's done pretty well. 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:48.919 From yourself, it does make you wonder. 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.280 Be your part of Sydney now with Clinton may not 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:54.719 call one three one eight seven three. 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.640 It's twelve past three. The unemployment rate has remained steady 0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.640 at four point one percent for May, but few are 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.479 Austrasians were actually in work over the past month. I 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.480 wonder what this means for interest rates. Brendan rinn is 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.000 the chief economist with KPMG and joins us. Is this 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:10.680 figure a surprise to you, Brendan. 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.640 No, it's not Clinton, And I know at a headline 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.480 level it sort of doesn't look like much has happened 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.279 during the month, But when you get behind the numbers, 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.160 it actually there has been quite a bit going on. 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:28.560 What you've seen is that the are switching from part 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:33.240 time employment to full time employment. So you had about 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:38.760 forty one thousand people changed from part time employment and 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.200 i'll drop out of part time employment, and about thirty 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.200 eight and a half thousand people got full time employment. 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:47.080 So that's why there was about two and a half thousand. 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.640 People that that's not a bad thing that there are 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.400 more people in full time jobs, so. 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.719 What Morand it meant that the hours worked increase as well, 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.480 So we're act lifting up the amount of activity that's happening. 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.160 Because people are always complaining about that the level of 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:03.080 underemployment the economy and that statistics don't necessarily always show 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:03.640 that level. 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:07.760 No, that's right, but the underemployment number and just with 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.560 all of this actually dropped during the quarter during the 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:14.040 month as well, so again it does show the resilience 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.400 within the economy at the moment. 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.080 Okay, so that being the case, So this does show 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.560 some economic strength. That being the case, what does it 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.200 mean when the RBA meets again to decide the next 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:25.400 movement on interest rates? 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:27.960 Yeah, so I think that they need to be a 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.040 little bit forward looking. I think one of the things 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.560 to realize is that we've been stuck at this four 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.560 point one percent level for quite some time now, five 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:39.560 months in a row. We've been and don't get me wrong, 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:43.240 it's we're below the level of unemployment that you would 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.000 have that says your act full employment. So the labor 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.680 market is tight. But what you're seeing is a lot 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.520 of that employment growth has happened in what's called the 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:56.160 non market sector, so in public services, in age care, 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:01.000 in healthcare, and in education. And that's about that's about 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.760 policy decisions and around quality. Not a lot of employment 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.320 in the private side of the economy, in the market 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.840 side of the economy, and interest rates I think are 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.560 too high to type and what we need to do 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:19.120 is drop those down to stimulate businesses making investment activity 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.200 and household spending a bit more, which will then flow 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.280 through into private sector employment. 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.400 Hopefully the RBA is of the same mind. Thank you 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.200 for your time, Brendan, Thanks Clenton, Doctor Brendan Ring the 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:32.840 chief economists with KPMG. Quarter past three, around three thousand 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.520 Australians have now registered to be evacuated from the Middle 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.920 East from Israel in Iran, and I'm going to talk 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:40.280 to an Australian later in the program who's now made 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.520 it back home. The foreign Mister Penny Wong says increasingly, 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:45.480 it's going to be a challenge to get OSSI's out. 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.440 They're not going to put on dedicated flights so that 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.800 there's no hercules about to fly into the Middle East 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.160 to pull Australians out. And I know a lot of 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:54.800 you are of the view, well, these people knew when 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.240 they went to Israel, or when they went to different 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:58.600 parts of the Middle East, they knew it was a 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.360 war zone. It has been the case with quite some time. 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.280 What they're doing is they're being busted across the border. 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.960 But that's tricking in itself because think about the borders 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:10.480 with Israel, Southern Lebanon or Syria, hardly where you'd want 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.520 to go. Maybe Jordan's the option. Airspace of the region 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.600 has been closed. The US President Donald Trump today has 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.240 refused to outline what his plan is. 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.600 Do you even to answer questions about whether you are 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.160 moving closer you believe the US is moving closer to 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.640 striking Iranian nuclear facilities? 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.800 Where's your mindset on that? You can say that, right? 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.440 You don't seriously think I'm going to answer that question. 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:36.040 Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component? 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.319 And what time exactly, sir. 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.559 Sir, would you strike it? Would you please inform U 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.480 so we can be there and watch. You don't know 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.200 that I'm going to even do it. You don't know 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:47.920 I may do it, I may not do it. I mean, 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:49.559 nobody knows what I'm going to do. I can tell 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:53.480 you this is that Iran's got a lot of trouble 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.320 and they want to negotiate. And I said, why didn't 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.800 you negotiate with me before all the death and destruction? 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.200 Why didn't you ago? I said to the people, why 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.520 didn't you negotiate with me two weeks ago? You could 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.000 have done fine, You would have out a country. 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.960 So Penny Wong has now been asked mister Trump's comments, 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:13.800 there are those comments unhelpful? 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:17.360 Well, what is unhelpful is Iran's refusal to commit to 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:22.280 discontinuing any nuclear program. So that Eron has a choice 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:26.000 here and it should make the choice to discontinue its program, 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:30.319 any program, and to return to talks. 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.280 As President Trump also said, it's never too. 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.600 Late our foreign Minister Penny Wong issues with the Opal 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.360 card network. Coming up next, We're going to conduct, as 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.800 Sydney Now listeners, honesty session. I want to hear some 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.760 truth from you that's in a moment one three seven 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.560 three our number. This is Sydney now seventeen degrees in 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.079 the city at seventeen degrees in Campbelltown. I was mentioning 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:52.679 that it's a lovely afternoon if you want to take 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.480 the kids of the grand kids down at the local 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:57.120 park and maybe practice your goalkicking. New South Wales is 0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.520 looking for a new goalkicker. It's great weather for it, 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.040 lovely afternoon. I mentioned David on the text line says, 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:04.600 come on lovely afternoon, question mark. Not if you're sitting 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.320 in the traffic heading to the Southerland shy, it's not lovely. 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:09.480 It's not great heading home at the moment. If you 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.120 are in the city heading south, Fiona has a traffic 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.719 report for us. Whereabouts are you, Fiana? 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.120 I'm in Castle Hill at the back of Castle Hill 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:19.760 and it's just fun to stop. 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.520 What road we're about to say? You in Castle Hill 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:24.760 Old Northern. 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.080 Roads heading into Castle Hill. 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:28.920 Does it look like there's an accident there or this 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:30.480 is just usual peak hour traffic? 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:32.400 No, this is worse. 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:33.120 This is worse. 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.319 And I've seen two police cars got the opposite direction. 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:37.079 I can see flashing lights the head on Old or 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.920 the road in the center towards the shopping center. 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.360 Oh okay, okay, we'll check that out with the police now. 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.240 So Castle Hill Old Northern Road towards the shopping cent 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.600 will find out if there's an issue there with the police. 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.480 Word on the street. Just thanks to temper a great 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.920 night's sleep, night after night. The difference is temper. If 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:53.440 you see something in the roads that we need to 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.319 know about, letting me know about it. One three one 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.800 eight seven three is our number. A couple of text 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.760 messages here about the issue of organized crime and criminals 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.040 who flaunt their wealth. So the three men who've been 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.640 arrested over this operation where they've been accused and they've 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:10.960 been charged of selling fake high end luxury goods. According 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:14.280 to the police, they were bragging about their luxury their 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.240 wealth online on social media and made the point to 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.880 Peter Foe, who's the head of the squad that's investigating this, 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.520 that you see a lot of young people, not a lot, 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.800 but you see some young people around Sydney Vite driving 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.280 very expensive motor vehicles and it makes you wonder how 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.480 they can afford them. Now, that's not to say all 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.480 young people who drive a Lamborghini are doing the wrong thing. 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:34.120 They're certainly not. I mean a lot of young people 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.320 made a lot of money through property, through tech startups, 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:39.840 for instance, but there are others who don't. Jessica says, 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.160 there are three Lamborghinis that regularly drive around the Southern 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:48.240 suburbs white in color, lime green and tangerine orange, and 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:51.120 the drivers seem to be very young behind the wheel. 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:55.800 Usually if, for instance, you've got a Ferrari, right, you've 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:57.440 saved up all your life to buy yourself a Ferrari. 0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:59.880 You've been very successful in your career. You buy yourself 0:12:59.880 --> 0:13:03.079 a red Ferrari. You do, you have to buy a 0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.160 red Ferrari. You don't buy a yellow one, say with 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.920 a Lamborghini. Maybe not yellow? Let me yeah, you buy yellow. Embighinddy, 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.880 you don't buy yourself a lime green Lamborghini unless you 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:13.600 want to stand out from the crowd. I think that's 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:17.640 a bit of a giveaway. Jason Reckins, if organized crime, 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.800 particularly drug dealing, ceased to exist, you would find the 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:23.440 sales of some of those high in luxury sports cars 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:27.320 would plummet. Twenty five past three. Now, I want some 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.640 honesty from you this afternoon, and you can stay anonymous 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.320 with this when you catch the bus. If you catch 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.280 the bus, do you swipe your ropal card. Now you 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.199 don't have to identify yourself. I just want to get 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.040 an understanding of whether a lot of people and I'm 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:43.160 not going to put you in I'm not going to 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:44.800 get you in trouble, okay, but a lot of people 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:46.959 get on a bus and don't use their APLE card, 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.400 or you don't swipe your phone with your credit card 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.760 on the phone with Apple Pay. I ask you that 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.199 because even if you're doing the right thing, it appears 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.360 that some of the time you can't actually swipe your 0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:59.960 rople card. I received a word on the street met 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:02.640 from one of our bus driver listeners. Word on the 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:04.880 streets for temper, great night's sleep night after night. The 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:06.880 difference is temper. And if there's something else you want 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:08.920 us to look at, that's our word on the street, 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.280 let me know about it. Via TGB dot com. Now 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.360 I won't name the driver who's been in contact with 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:16.280 this week, but she sent me a message after finishing 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.200 a shift and she writes, I've spent most of the 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:23.560 day with the OPAL on my bus. The open reader offline. 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:27.680 Another day of free rides for passengers no meaningful data collected. 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.480 She writes, this is not a new thing. OPAL has 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.360 been completely unreliable from the start. It is offline in 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.040 my experience on my buses maybe thirty to forty percent 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.360 of the time, if not more. She says, there's no 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:41.320 integrity in the data that is collected and that data 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.800 is important because it gives the bus operators and then 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.480 Transport for New South Wales information about passengers and where 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:49.280 they're going to schedule their services. But there's a big 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.440 issue here as well. It means the operators and therefore 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.120 the government they're missing out on ticket revenue. So I've 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.120 been in contact with Transport for New South Wales just 0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:01.080 seeking some information about the reliability of our open card 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:04.040 system and it is up for replacement. Transport for New 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.400 South Wales has issued me with a statement. They say 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:09.240 they are aware of some incidents where OPAL readers may 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:12.720 not have worked for passengers on some buses. While these 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:16.080 are not related to any widespread open network issues, Transport 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.280 for New South Wales works closely with BUCK operators to 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.280 understand and rectify these issues when they occur, to reset, 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.880 repair or replace the validators. So what your swipe as 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.480 needed there are a number of devices on buses that 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.600 contribute to open working, including the bus driver console, the 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:34.280 open readers, and network infrastructure. During twenty twenty four, so 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:35.960 they don't have figures for this year, but last year 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.480 the overall reliability and the equipment on the bus network 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.440 achieved a performance of ninety nine point eighty five percent. 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.320 So unless it's just a problem with my driver's bus, 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.440 she reckons between thirty to forty percent. The open card 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:51.560 readers don't work. The opal card network is going to 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:53.080 be replaced in the next couple of years, and that's 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.320 another story, and I'll mention that later, but just tell 0:15:56.320 --> 0:16:00.080 me about your experience. Firstly, if you catch buses of 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.080 the open cards work all the time that the readers, 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.160 Now I don't catch buses are his trains, and the 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.440 readers always work so that they'll always get me for 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:09.240 the fair. But beyond that, I just want some honesty 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:13.680 from you. Do you actually pay the fair or given 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:15.880 there's only a bus, there's no ticket inspector off and 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.480 on a bus, do you're ride for free? Just let 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.960 me know, no judgment here. You tell me one three 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:29.080 one eight seven three and good afternoon, Katie Foller. 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:33.800 Good afternoon Clinton. Almost three thousand Australians have registered to 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:38.240 be evacuated out of Israel and Iran amid escalating tensions 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:41.720 between the countries. A small group has been tagken through 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.760 a land crossing in Israel. No one has been rescued 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:48.720 from Iran due to the security situation. Seven men have 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:52.760 been charged following a three day operation focused on arresting 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:57.120 alleged domestic violence offenders in the state's north. Among those 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.880 taken into custody was a twenty eight year old man 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:04.280 allegedly found hiding in a wardrobe nearly is More research 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:08.200 suggests covid, RSV and the flu can increase the risk 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.600 of heart attack or stroke. A team from the University 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:14.919 of Melbourne has found the viruses lead to inflammation in 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:19.000 the body, which temporarily increases the risk of blood clots, 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.920 and using AI tools has been found to erode critical 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:26.720 thinking skills. A US study found those who use chat 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:31.280 GPT to write essays performed worse when tested on various 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:36.200 skills compared with those who do their own work. In sport, 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.159 Joseph Swale has been named in a thirty six man 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:42.840 Wallaby squad for next month's Test match against Fiji. The 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:46.880 former NRL star has overcome a fractured jaw. Clinton More 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:47.960 News at four. 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.320 Thank you Kat. Seventeen degrees in the CBD. It's sixteen 0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.280 degrees in Campbelltown at the moment. Peter Ford coming up 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:56.000 in just a tick. But Opal cards, just tell me 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.200 the truth. When you get onto a bus or other 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:00.399 forms of public transport in Sydney, do you wipe your 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:01.600 open card? Hello Rick? 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.880 But yeah, I'll tell you the strett. I don't pay 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:08.720 when I get on the bus. I don't use the card. 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:10.800 I just get on because mate. 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:14.480 I can't afford it since the card never paid out 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:17.240 on Golden Point for all the punters, and that we've 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:18.159 all got no money. 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:21.680 Well, gamble responsibly, as they say, But you probably need 0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:23.439 to come up with a better excuse if a ticket 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:25.920 inspector catches you, Rick, other than you didn't do too 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:30.439 well on the punt. Hello Stephen, Hey mate, Yeah, no, 0:18:30.720 --> 0:18:32.439 I never tap on, and I know a lot of 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:34.440 people that don't tap on as well. Do you find 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.240 the aple card readers work when you do try to 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:37.600 tap on? 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:40.640 I'll be honest with you, I've never even tried. 0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:44.400 Now, this is an honesty session. So no judgment. Does 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:45.480 it make you feel bad. 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:48.160 No, it doesn't because the cost of living is beyond 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:48.480 the joke. 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:50.680 Okay, good on your Stephen, Thank you mate. Bob's in 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:51.840 Windsor Hello Bob. 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:52.879 Hello. 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.640 Do you use your Aple card all the time? Good boy? 0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:58.200 Get a free transport? 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:01.520 Oh well, that makes it easy for you. 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:04.040 But I don't give up until it's swipes. 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:04.480 Now. 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:08.240 I see the bus drivers couldn't give a rat And 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:12.320 if people's swipe or don't swipe, they just get on 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.120 and walk up the back now and the bus drivers 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:15.520 a word. 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:17.520 Yeah, I think the bus drivers feel they've got enough 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.320 on their plates other than policing the affairs. Thank you, Bob. 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.360 I'll come to more of your feedback on this shortly. 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.280 Just tell me the truth, particularly with buses. Do you 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:27.879 use your Opal card? Some traffic dramas that we've been 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:30.200 reporting the Old Northern Road not far from the shopping 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:32.439 center at Castle Hill. Thanks for this information one of 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:34.960 our listeners. There's a van broken down. Police are on 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:39.000 the scene. It is opposite the church is northbound on 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:42.359 the traffic side, so northbound Old Northern Road, Castle Hill. 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:45.040 Alex Cullen, who was on the Today Show, for a 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:47.680 few years, has got himself a new job, Peter Ford 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:48.640 with all the details, are they. 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:53.920 Peter planding on your feet? I'm pleased for him that 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:56.520 you didn't get off to a good start obviously when 0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:59.800 he was let go by the Today Show for doing 0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:04.000 so that was outright stupid, you know, taking that dare 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:07.880 or that bet by Adrian for Tally, the multi multi 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:11.679 millionaire to use a nickname that he liked. It was 0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:14.600 stupid and he got paid a very heavy price for 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.680 it out the door. But fast forward a few months 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:20.520 and things are great. Unfortunately though it does mean that 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:23.719 Alex has to relocate to Melbourne with his family. But 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:26.040 today it was announced he's going to be the sports 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:29.480 reporter on the Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show in Melbourne, which 0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:33.040 is an FM radio show very successful in the Melbourne 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:37.080 breakfast radio market. It's owned by three aw as it 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:40.080 is owned in Sydney by two GB so the FM's 0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:42.439 going to scramble out for what they can get the 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:45.320 scraps after that. But Christian does a very good show 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:48.600 and that's a great gig for Alex and he also 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:51.520 it fits him perfectly because he's coming to Melbourne to 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:55.480 host the afternoon new program on seven when that gets 0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:57.880 up and going. So he's going to be working quite 0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:01.119 long days though, because I would imagine for breakfast radio 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:03.160 he would have to be in there at the very 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:05.880 latest at five o'clock in the morning and then it'll 0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:09.240 be working right through until late afternoon at seven. But 0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:10.440 I'm sure he's thrilled. 0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:12.840 Oh he's a good fellow, Alex. I'm glad he's landed 0:21:12.840 --> 0:21:13.320 on his feet. 0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:14.080 Yeah. 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:17.200 Absolutely, I'm not sure many of our listeners are a 0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:18.440 big fan of this man's work. 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:23.920 I know w now lone Bleink knowing me one day. 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:27.760 So that's a song called Hotline Blein quite appropriate for 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:30.720 talk about radio brogram plead by a star named Drake. 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:33.240 Yeah, he is very big time, even if you don't 0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:35.879 know him. He's very big time in that hip hop 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:38.719 moving into R and B and pop, and he's been 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:42.880 around fifteen years, hugely successful in that world. But he's 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:45.879 a big gambler to say the least. So this is 0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:49.919 something he's posted up today. This is not speculation. This 0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:53.840 is something he has shared with his followers on social media. 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:59.000 So in the past week gambling, he has waged fifty 0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:04.159 million two hundred and fifty five thousand dollars and for that, 0:22:04.720 --> 0:22:08.760 unfortunately for him, he's down five million, eight hundred and 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:13.640 twenty two thousand dollars In the past fortnight, he's waged 0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:18.240 seventy five million, three hundred and eighteen thousand dollars and 0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:22.080 he's down five million, nine hundred and twenty eight thousand 0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:25.920 in the past month. I'm terrible with figures, and this 0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:28.880 is these are big numbers. In the past month, he's 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:33.040 spent one hundred and twenty four million, five hundred and 0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:38.879 twenty seven thousand dollars on gambling, and he's down eight million, 0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:42.480 two hundred and thirty five thousand dollars. Now, it raises 0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:44.760 a whole bunch of questions. Number One, why do you 0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:48.280 want to share that with people? Is he trying to 0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:51.840 provide some kind of salient lesson about the evils of 0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:54.879 gambling and how dangerous it can be. The other question 0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:57.560 for me is what's he betting on? You know, I 0:22:57.640 --> 0:22:59.760 do fifty bucks on the Queen of the Nile down 0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:03.000 at the pokys, and that's about the extent for me. 0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:06.320 What kind of gambling is he putting that money on it? 0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:07.359 It's remarkable I. 0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:10.760 Also wonder about the motivation for putting this up there online. Now, 0:23:10.880 --> 0:23:13.280 I've just been talking about a police operation in Sydney 0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:15.760 where three men have been arrested and police are able 0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:17.800 to arrest these people who are accused of operating a 0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:20.960 counterfeit luxury goods ring because they were bragging about their wealth, 0:23:21.119 --> 0:23:24.320 namely buying Lamborghini's and McLaren sports cars. Is that just 0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:26.959 part of the hip hop world that they like to 0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:27.840 flaunt their wealth. 0:23:28.240 --> 0:23:30.800 I think that's a part of it. But in the 0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:33.080 piece that he's put up, when he actually says I 0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:35.719 need to share with you the other side of gambling, 0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:38.480 and you think, well, that's good. He's showing people how 0:23:38.760 --> 0:23:42.000 no matter what level of amount of money you're spending, 0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:45.000 you can lose and you probably will lose. But then 0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:47.480 he goes on to basically say, I'm hoping I'm going 0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:49.199 to be able to post a big win for you 0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:53.119 all soon to see. So it's not exactly and if 0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:54.680 you look at if you do the maths on it, 0:23:54.760 --> 0:23:57.600 what he's spent per week, per fortnite, per month, his 0:23:57.720 --> 0:24:00.680 amount per week is going up a lot, So he's 0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:04.600 clearly chasing those losses, which is what gamblers will very 0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:05.280 often do. 0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:07.199 No matter how much money is in their bank account. 0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:10.520 Thank you, Peter, Thanks clipping our entertained reporter pewter Ford. 0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:13.720 If it matters to you, you'll hear it here. Sydney 0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:15.960 Now with Clinton Maynard until set. 0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:18.840 A man's been arrested after police uncovered a three D 0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:23.840 printer operation that has been manufacturing in somebody's home, effectively 0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:29.840 guns and weapons. A strikeforce has been examining the importation 0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:33.879 of three D printed firearms and firearm parts, but also 0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:38.640 three D computer aided design software and privately manufactured weapons. 0:24:39.040 --> 0:24:41.760 They've raided the home in the Blue Mountains in Blackheath, 0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:45.160 and during the raid, police say they've located in excess 0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:49.840 of one hundred various three D printed firearm parts, including 0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:54.000 magazines and triggers. They've seized a couple of completed firearms, 0:24:54.000 --> 0:24:57.080 a pistol and a long arm, and some imports as well. 0:24:57.080 --> 0:24:58.920 But this is the reality what police are now dealing 0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:02.240 with in the criminal underworld, three D printers being used 0:25:02.240 --> 0:25:04.480 to make weapons. The occupant of the home, a twenty 0:25:04.560 --> 0:25:06.199 nine year old man, has been arrested. Take it at 0:25:06.200 --> 0:25:09.360 contumber Prece station. He's now facing a range of charges. 0:25:09.520 --> 0:25:12.639 I've got lots of feedback on whether you pay affairs 0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:15.080 using an open card, or whether, particularly with a bus, 0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:17.359 whether you just take the risk and you don't bother. 0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:21.439 Now Martin is a bus driver. Hello Martin, I know 0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:24.000 how you go. I'm good. Do you see a lot 0:25:24.000 --> 0:25:26.080 of people getting on board your bus and not even 0:25:26.080 --> 0:25:27.480 bothering to pay? 0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:34.040 Okay, here's the thing. Years ago, revenue protection was real 0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:38.720 revenue protection. So the officers were big blokes. You didn't 0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:40.880 want to mess with them. They were just huge guys, 0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:43.520 and they were physically allowed to take people off the 0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:47.640 bus that didn't pay. Today they looked like school kids, 0:25:47.640 --> 0:25:51.400 stressful stool uniforms. Okay, they walk off the bus. I'll 0:25:51.400 --> 0:25:54.440 walk up to up a passenger ferravader and they'll say, 0:25:55.560 --> 0:25:59.680 ticket mate, show me a ticket. I'm not one, so okay, 0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:02.080 I'm not. I wonder you have any ID, so get nick. 0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:05.880 That problem walks off. 0:26:06.800 --> 0:26:09.359 I come across them quite regularly on trains, Martin. I 0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:11.560 don't really catch the bus, but catch the train. And 0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:15.479 I do see them questioning people. I've seen them issue fines. Now, 0:26:15.520 --> 0:26:17.480 I found myself in a position once where they said 0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:20.240 I hadn't tapped on my open card correctly, and they 0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:22.720 did take my details down and they were right. I 0:26:22.800 --> 0:26:26.360 for some reason didn't tap on, and they were able 0:26:26.359 --> 0:26:27.879 to look at my record and find that I do 0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:29.920 regularly tap on, so they sent me a warning letter. 0:26:30.200 --> 0:26:32.240 So I wonder if it's different than the buses compared 0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:32.800 to the trains. 0:26:33.280 --> 0:26:36.679 That's only, that's the only if you voluntarily give it 0:26:36.720 --> 0:26:40.000 to them, they cannot ah, and that's the difference. They 0:26:40.040 --> 0:26:42.480 can't flauce you. They can't say to you, you have 0:26:42.600 --> 0:26:44.480 to give me a ID now. The only people that 0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:47.760 can do that is the transit police, and they run 0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:49.240 the rail. They're on the rail. 0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:51.720 Yes, it's a different story thanks to that information Martin, 0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:54.280 who's a bus driver. Jim says on the text line, Yes, 0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:57.200 I swipe, but my rule is simple. If the front 0:26:57.240 --> 0:27:00.000 open reedles doesn't work, I don't bother trying the other. 0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:02.960 The same goes for the other way, this one from Lisa. 0:27:03.000 --> 0:27:05.160 I use my open card and the readers do work 0:27:05.200 --> 0:27:08.320 every single time. Those that use their credit card or phone, though, 0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:11.280 I find those people have issues. Mike and Cronulla says 0:27:11.280 --> 0:27:13.240 the number of young people I see jumping gates at 0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:16.800 railway stations is beyond comprehension of a regular train user. 0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:18.639 I use it every day, see it all the time, 0:27:19.119 --> 0:27:21.199 as I'm sure you do as well. The station masters 0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:23.560 at major station the turn a blind eye. The behavior 0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:25.679 has been happening for decades. It must be costing the 0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:27.399 state government a lot of money. 0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:28.920 Until six. 0:27:29.280 --> 0:27:32.560 This is Sydney now with Clinton Maynard on two GB 0:27:33.080 --> 0:27:35.480 call now one three one seven three. 0:27:36.560 --> 0:27:38.800 A few weeks ago, I brought you the program from Taree, 0:27:38.920 --> 0:27:41.959 a Mid North coast so savagely affected by the floods, 0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:44.160 and I think it's important that we don't forget about 0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:47.520 people who have been affected by natural disasters well outside 0:27:47.560 --> 0:27:49.679 of Sydney, because it's it's so easy for us to 0:27:49.720 --> 0:27:52.880 move on when we're not affected by these things. There's 0:27:52.880 --> 0:27:54.959 some concerns that have been raised in the papers today 0:27:55.160 --> 0:27:57.760 about the number of people who do not qualify for 0:27:57.800 --> 0:28:01.360 the federal government and the state government. And the government 0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:05.520 did extend part of this assistance scheme this week. They've 0:28:05.560 --> 0:28:07.560 added some more suburbs on the Mid North Coast in 0:28:07.600 --> 0:28:10.440 the Hunter Valley for businesses and homeowners so they will 0:28:10.440 --> 0:28:13.360 be able to apply for some But there's been suggestions 0:28:13.359 --> 0:28:16.720 that the grant level isn't high enough, so businesses who 0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:20.080 have been affected and qualify can access up to twenty 0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:23.440 five thousand dollars, but a lot of businesses saying, particularly 0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:26.720 primary producers farmers, this won't go anywhere near enough. There 0:28:26.760 --> 0:28:29.879 is another category of funding, it's called Category D funding 0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:33.199 and it's worth seventy five thousand dollars. Problem is a 0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:35.440 lot of the various primary producers on the Mid North 0:28:35.480 --> 0:28:38.440 Coast who have suffered they don't qualify as a Category D, 0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:41.760 and really the government's only pushing Category C, which is 0:28:41.800 --> 0:28:44.120 twenty five thousand dollars. A couple of weeks ago we 0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:47.680 spoke to May now. May is, like many in the area, 0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:50.920 has been denied financial assistance by Service New South Wales. 0:28:50.920 --> 0:28:52.960 She couldn't even apply for the minimum one hundred and 0:28:53.000 --> 0:28:55.680 eighty dollars. So I want to talk to May again. 0:28:55.880 --> 0:28:58.480 She owns an arcade in Tare. 0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:01.560 Hello May, Hi Clinton, how are you? 0:29:01.760 --> 0:29:03.080 I'm Okavid, how are you. 0:29:05.400 --> 0:29:12.280 Well? We are surviving. We are coming together as a 0:29:12.280 --> 0:29:18.000 community and trying to make some sense of all of this. 0:29:19.040 --> 0:29:23.280 You know, we are. The flood rewards have receded, but 0:29:23.320 --> 0:29:27.880 the heartache is deepening as the reality set's in, you know, 0:29:28.000 --> 0:29:35.040 the fact that we are forming a community flood rally 0:29:36.200 --> 0:29:40.280 this coming Monday to get as many people as we 0:29:40.400 --> 0:29:44.080 can to sign a petition to try and classify this 0:29:44.200 --> 0:29:49.120 event as a Category D, which it was classified as 0:29:49.200 --> 0:29:50.320 in twenty twenty one. 0:29:50.720 --> 0:29:53.520 Now that's I mentioned the category D. So category D. 0:29:53.600 --> 0:29:57.000 If it was Category D, you'd be entitled a primer producer, 0:29:57.000 --> 0:30:00.520 for instance, business seventy five thousand dollars. Now, body I've 0:30:00.560 --> 0:30:02.920 spoken to in Tara in the surrounds tell me this 0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:04.680 flood is worse than twenty twenty one. 0:30:05.120 --> 0:30:10.080 It is, it's double the like it's the size of 0:30:10.120 --> 0:30:14.240 this flood is twice the size of the twenty twenty 0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:20.760 one flood. There's thousands of people that have been impacted, homeowners, 0:30:20.880 --> 0:30:26.479 at least one hundred businesses have been impacted this time, 0:30:27.320 --> 0:30:32.320 and they are all suffering because at this stage we 0:30:32.600 --> 0:30:36.120 are you know, we've gone through the process of stripping 0:30:36.160 --> 0:30:41.960 out buildings and removing walls, removing flooring, and now we're 0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:49.120 left with an empty space waiting for government to come 0:30:49.160 --> 0:30:54.960 back and tell us that we can move on. We 0:30:54.960 --> 0:30:58.560 were twenty five thousands for a business owner won't go anywhere. 0:30:58.680 --> 0:31:02.480 So are you entitled to the twenty five five we are. 0:31:02.440 --> 0:31:08.880 As a business. Yes, that when we put the arcade 0:31:08.920 --> 0:31:14.440 back together in twenty twenty one, it was to us 0:31:14.680 --> 0:31:19.960 a financial expenditure of nearly three hundred thousand dollars. 0:31:20.400 --> 0:31:24.360 Now, yeah, so twenty five doesn't go too fast. 0:31:24.640 --> 0:31:30.280 We are very frustrated because, as you know, we had 0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:34.120 a lot of media coverage. We had the premiere Chris 0:31:34.320 --> 0:31:39.880 Means come, we had Janelle Savin come, we had the 0:31:40.880 --> 0:31:46.560 Miniter for Disasters and Emergency Services and the Prime minister. 0:31:46.640 --> 0:31:48.600 The Prime Minister visited parts of the region as well. 0:31:49.040 --> 0:31:55.360 He did, he did. Now we've been so like my 0:31:55.520 --> 0:32:00.440 nephew who has reached out because Janelle Saffron, let me 0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:05.880 say straight off, she reached out to us, knowing on 0:32:06.040 --> 0:32:10.320 the recommendation from Chris Means that she reach out to us, 0:32:10.640 --> 0:32:15.600 and then twice he has emailed and then tried to 0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:19.400 find we haven't had a response back. I mean, do 0:32:19.480 --> 0:32:22.120 we have to you know. 0:32:23.640 --> 0:32:26.040 What you need help? You need help. So so Monday 0:32:26.040 --> 0:32:28.000 you're holding a rally and there'll be a petition to 0:32:28.880 --> 0:32:31.720 make sure that we'll have the area recategorized as a 0:32:31.720 --> 0:32:34.120 Category D, which would intold you more government assistant, so 0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:37.680 it to be on Monday. That's Monday, Okay, mate, we'll 0:32:37.720 --> 0:32:39.360 talk to you again on Monday because we're not going 0:32:39.360 --> 0:32:43.880 to let this go because people in Tarre surrounding districts 0:32:43.960 --> 0:32:45.720 you need help, Okay, So we'll talk to you again 0:32:45.720 --> 0:32:46.120 on Monday. 0:32:46.120 --> 0:32:48.040 May, yep, thank you. 0:32:48.280 --> 0:32:50.479 I am or who is the owner of an arcade 0:32:50.480 --> 0:32:53.200 in Tarre, and then they have shopkeepers who run their 0:32:53.200 --> 0:32:56.480 little businesses from that particular arcade. And you might say, well, 0:32:56.520 --> 0:32:59.040 you know, these people should have proper business insurance. These 0:32:59.080 --> 0:33:02.680 people shouldn't be relying on government handouts. But insurance is 0:33:02.680 --> 0:33:06.080 completely unaffordable since the twenty twenty one floods, the premiums 0:33:06.080 --> 0:33:08.480 have gone through the roof. No business can and no 0:33:08.560 --> 0:33:10.920 individual can afford the premiums that have been asked off. 0:33:11.120 --> 0:33:14.880 We as a society have an obligation to help people 0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:17.400 like May. So we'll be a rally on Monday and 0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:19.040 we'll talk about it next week. There are plenty of 0:33:19.080 --> 0:33:22.160 dramas on the roads this afternoon. Think if your message, Claudeine, 0:33:22.200 --> 0:33:25.160 She tells me. M one Joel's Bridge, so north of Sydney, 0:33:25.480 --> 0:33:28.680 heading north Middle Lane and the outside lane. Someone has 0:33:28.840 --> 0:33:32.080 just dropped to tarp and building materials just before you 0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:34.200 get to the first set of the old speed cameras. Okay, 0:33:34.240 --> 0:33:36.800 so this is the m one between Sydney and the 0:33:36.800 --> 0:33:40.200 Central Coast Joel's Bridge. If you're going northbound. There's some 0:33:40.240 --> 0:33:42.680 building materials all over the road and a tarp as well. 0:33:42.720 --> 0:33:45.000 So it's the middle lane and the outside lane. Thanks 0:33:45.000 --> 0:33:47.440 for letting me know about that. Claudeine. We have been 0:33:47.480 --> 0:33:51.600 reporting with Catherine about the dramas on Canterbury Road, just 0:33:51.640 --> 0:33:54.960 past Duke Street in Canterbury, a car has hit a pedestrian. 0:33:55.000 --> 0:33:57.320 We've just spoken with the New South Wales Ambulance Service. 0:33:57.480 --> 0:33:59.400 They tell us a Wood in her seventies has now 0:33:59.400 --> 0:34:02.120 been taken to a care Andbury hospital. She has minor head 0:34:02.160 --> 0:34:05.400 and shoulder injuries. The emergency services that actually cleaned up 0:34:05.400 --> 0:34:07.880 the scene pretty quickly. They've now left one of two 0:34:08.040 --> 0:34:11.200 eastbound lanes, though it remains closed. Ben Forden broke the 0:34:11.200 --> 0:34:14.799 big story this morning about a thousand families being sent 0:34:15.040 --> 0:34:17.200 a letter. Now, this is a letter about a man 0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:21.279 who was accused of inappropriate behavior and having what's deemed 0:34:21.320 --> 0:34:24.400 to be confronting material on his phone. And the Australian 0:34:24.400 --> 0:34:28.120 Federal Police has now confirmed what Ben brought us this morning. Now, 0:34:28.440 --> 0:34:31.680 it does not mean that this man has come into 0:34:31.719 --> 0:34:36.360 direct contact with the children from these thousand families, but 0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:39.560 the AFP believes it is only right that those families 0:34:39.640 --> 0:34:42.840 know what has occurred here. The Premier has also spoken 0:34:43.000 --> 0:34:45.680 about this today, but he says the identity of the 0:34:45.719 --> 0:34:48.080 man cannot be revealed for legal reasons. 0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:51.560 There are strict rules in place in terms of reporting requirements. 0:34:52.000 --> 0:34:55.080 Once an allegation has been made and there's a credible 0:34:55.080 --> 0:34:58.839 inquiry that's been unfolding. And whilst I completely acknowledged that's 0:34:58.840 --> 0:35:01.400 a confronting it, correspondent. 0:35:01.120 --> 0:35:03.879 If you were to have received that letter, understandably you'd 0:35:03.920 --> 0:35:06.480 be quite concerned about what you've just read and what 0:35:06.520 --> 0:35:09.200 you've been hearing about. But it does not mean that 0:35:09.200 --> 0:35:11.400 that your child, if you are in this position, your 0:35:11.480 --> 0:35:14.560 child has had direct contact with this man. Some may 0:35:14.600 --> 0:35:17.880 well have, But the AFP and our local police are 0:35:17.880 --> 0:35:20.040 also involved in this. Because the man is accused of 0:35:20.239 --> 0:35:24.960 criminal behavior, inappropriate behavior, the AFP has deemed it appropriate 0:35:25.040 --> 0:35:29.920 that people are actually told what has occurred here. I've 0:35:29.960 --> 0:35:32.560 just been reading the Sydney Morning Herald this afternoon about 0:35:32.560 --> 0:35:36.280 some of the inmates at the Francis Greenway Correctional Complex 0:35:36.760 --> 0:35:40.400 in Berkshire Park in western Sydney. Now it's a jail. 0:35:41.000 --> 0:35:44.720 Turns out some of the inmates are reptiles literally blue 0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:49.640 tongue lizards, freshwater turtles and pythons. I hadn't heard this before. Apparently, when, 0:35:49.680 --> 0:35:53.440 for instance, somebody finds a lizard and they bring up wires, 0:35:53.960 --> 0:35:58.160 wires ends up taking these reptiles to the jail. Apparently 0:35:58.200 --> 0:36:01.840 the inmates have some work trying to rehabilitate the reptiles 0:36:01.840 --> 0:36:04.799 and then they're given to reptile handlers down the track. 0:36:06.880 --> 0:36:11.400 There is Sidney. Now we've clinton on t GB. 0:36:11.560 --> 0:36:14.239 It's seven past four. We've just received during the news 0:36:14.239 --> 0:36:16.239 a tip off from one of our listeners who has 0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:20.399 seen four police cars flying past them the Relan Road 0:36:20.520 --> 0:36:23.719 heading towards Campbelltown. An ambulance as well. We've just been 0:36:23.719 --> 0:36:26.439 in contact with the local police and the local police say, look, 0:36:26.440 --> 0:36:28.840 they can't say too much of the moment about what's happening, 0:36:28.840 --> 0:36:32.600 but they've directed us towards police headquarters. Headquarters tell us 0:36:32.600 --> 0:36:34.839 they'll provide us with a full statement of moment. So 0:36:35.040 --> 0:36:38.200 something is occurring in the Campbelltown region. If you know anything, 0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:40.319 let us know, give me a call now one three 0:36:40.360 --> 0:36:43.880 one eight seven three. So this is Norellan Road, Campbelltown. 0:36:44.280 --> 0:36:47.520 Four police cars. There is an ambulance involved as well. 0:36:47.640 --> 0:36:51.200 It looks like something is now unfolding. If you see something, 0:36:51.200 --> 0:36:52.719 if you know something, you can send me a text 0:36:52.760 --> 0:36:55.560 message as well. Zero force zero eight seven three eight 0:36:55.640 --> 0:36:57.680 seven to three. All lives will be on the Quarry 0:36:57.760 --> 0:37:01.319 Street Parliament House in State Politics to morrow because there 0:37:01.360 --> 0:37:05.759 could be unprecedented scenes and I'm not exaggerating of as 0:37:05.800 --> 0:37:11.600 many as five government staff being arrested. I'm serious. You 0:37:11.680 --> 0:37:13.759 may well have heard Ben talk to the Premier Chris 0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:17.040 Mins about this little earlier in the week. These five 0:37:17.320 --> 0:37:21.120 have been effectively summons to appear before a parliamentary inquiry, 0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:24.840 an Upper House inquiry. The inquiry is investigating the circumstances 0:37:24.880 --> 0:37:28.000 around the Dural caravan, the caravan that was found with 0:37:28.040 --> 0:37:31.479 explosives that Chris Min's at the time, and we took 0:37:31.480 --> 0:37:33.520 his press conference live on the show when this was 0:37:33.560 --> 0:37:37.600 all breaking. This was in January, where Chris Mins says 0:37:37.640 --> 0:37:40.640 this potentially could have been a mass terrorist event, a 0:37:40.640 --> 0:37:44.360 mass casualty event Well, it was later discovered and police 0:37:44.400 --> 0:37:47.120 had conducted their investigations that know that wasn't the case. 0:37:47.160 --> 0:37:51.880 This was effectively a setup by the criminal underworld. But 0:37:52.000 --> 0:37:54.960 Chris Mins's Premier had put warnings out there because of 0:37:54.960 --> 0:37:58.000 the fear about anti Semitism in Sydney's eastern suburbs in particular. 0:37:58.120 --> 0:38:00.720 This may well have been part of a terror plot. 0:38:01.239 --> 0:38:03.520 So there's a nupper House inquiry in state parlmer. Now, 0:38:03.560 --> 0:38:06.320 there are a lot of inquiries that occur in Parliament. 0:38:06.360 --> 0:38:08.440 Most of it is political with the opposition or the 0:38:08.440 --> 0:38:12.320 crossbenches trying to bash up the government or actually ascertain 0:38:12.480 --> 0:38:15.880 critical information about happenings in state politics. So they do 0:38:15.920 --> 0:38:17.920 play a role. I think there are too many inquiries 0:38:17.920 --> 0:38:20.399 in general, but they do play a role. What may 0:38:20.480 --> 0:38:24.640 transpire tomorrow is unprecedented. So just in the last half 0:38:24.640 --> 0:38:27.759 hour or so, I've been sent the witness list for 0:38:27.840 --> 0:38:30.560 the hearing tomorrow that is scheduled for the McQuary room 0:38:30.600 --> 0:38:33.040 in Parliament House. Now, you, as a member of the public, 0:38:33.040 --> 0:38:35.880 can actually turn up to Parliament tomorrow and people do 0:38:35.960 --> 0:38:39.240 this and sign in as a member of the public. 0:38:39.280 --> 0:38:41.160 This is how our democracy works and sit in the 0:38:41.200 --> 0:38:44.520 macquary room and watch this inquiry. The issue is going 0:38:44.600 --> 0:38:47.720 to be though the five witnesses who have been called 0:38:48.480 --> 0:38:51.080 they won't be appearing, so they have been summoned to 0:38:51.120 --> 0:38:53.360 a PEPO for the inquiry. It includes the chief of 0:38:53.400 --> 0:38:56.680 staff of Chris Mins. It includes his deputy chief of staff, 0:38:56.719 --> 0:39:00.360 his communications manager, but also two staff members including the 0:39:00.440 --> 0:39:03.399 chief of staff of the Police Minister Yasmin Catley. Now 0:39:03.440 --> 0:39:04.799 I've been doing a fair bit of digging on this 0:39:04.840 --> 0:39:07.439 one today to find out exactly what's going on here. 0:39:08.360 --> 0:39:11.520 If they do not appear at ten forty five tomorrow, 0:39:12.320 --> 0:39:17.680 there can be a process where they're arrested. No, this 0:39:17.840 --> 0:39:19.920 is not HARKing back to the times of Henry the 0:39:20.000 --> 0:39:23.640 Eighth that we know beheading of anybody, but there can 0:39:23.680 --> 0:39:26.440 be the prospect and this is what the push will 0:39:26.480 --> 0:39:29.239 be for for their arrests. And it would even could 0:39:29.239 --> 0:39:32.239 even go as far as the five people being kept 0:39:32.280 --> 0:39:35.200 in custody overnight or until there is another hearing of 0:39:35.239 --> 0:39:38.200 this particular inquiry to force them to give evidence. Mind you, 0:39:38.239 --> 0:39:39.840 they could turn up and just not open their mouths 0:39:39.840 --> 0:39:43.160 and just not answer questions. I guess what would it 0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:46.040 need to occur is the Speaker or the President of 0:39:46.040 --> 0:39:47.680 the Upper House is a gentleman by the name of 0:39:47.719 --> 0:39:50.279 Ben Franklin. Ben Franklin would have to go through a 0:39:50.320 --> 0:39:53.080 process of making an application by the Supreme Court for 0:39:53.239 --> 0:39:56.319 the arrests. But there are special constables, so there are 0:39:56.520 --> 0:39:59.520 police officers who are stationed at Parliament House. There are 0:39:59.560 --> 0:40:02.799 people who who could actually carry out the arrests in 0:40:02.880 --> 0:40:06.120 Parliament House. Of the five they wouldn't be held in 0:40:06.120 --> 0:40:08.040 a dungeon under Parliament House or anything. They'd be taken 0:40:08.080 --> 0:40:10.560 off to a local cop shop and held overnight, I'm 0:40:10.600 --> 0:40:13.800 being told, And that's because they're refusing to give evidence. 0:40:14.719 --> 0:40:17.319 But it's got to come from the President of the 0:40:17.400 --> 0:40:20.560 Upper House, Ben Franklin. And he then goes effectively seeking 0:40:20.560 --> 0:40:22.719 a Supreme Court order for the police at Parliament House 0:40:22.760 --> 0:40:28.080 to make the arrests. Here's the twist. Ben Franklin, very 0:40:28.080 --> 0:40:31.400 controversially was a President of the Upper House. He was 0:40:31.480 --> 0:40:34.839 member of the Nationals and the Nationals were outraged by 0:40:34.880 --> 0:40:38.239 this because they effectively lose a vote. Who appointed him 0:40:38.320 --> 0:40:40.439 the President of the Upper House? Well, the Labor government did. 0:40:40.840 --> 0:40:43.560 Ben Franklin, and this is on the public record. Is 0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:46.400 close He's considered a friend of the Premier, Chris Mins, 0:40:47.000 --> 0:40:48.279 So there's going to be a lot of pressure on 0:40:48.360 --> 0:40:53.280 Ben Franklin tomorrow. Will he do what the committee wants 0:40:53.480 --> 0:40:57.399 and force these five staff members to give evidence through 0:40:58.480 --> 0:41:02.360 asking for their arrest, or will he back his friend 0:41:02.800 --> 0:41:06.520 Chris Mins, who obviously does not want the staff to attend. Now, 0:41:06.600 --> 0:41:09.160 Chris Mins has spoken about this today during his daily 0:41:09.160 --> 0:41:11.360 press conference. He spoke about this with Ben Fordham on 0:41:11.400 --> 0:41:13.440 Tuesday and the Premier made it very clear he does 0:41:13.440 --> 0:41:16.680 not want the staff to attend, and in the words 0:41:16.719 --> 0:41:21.400 of one of my contacts in the government today says 0:41:21.440 --> 0:41:25.960 the Dural inquiry is a conspiracy theory freak show between 0:41:26.040 --> 0:41:29.800 Rob Roberts from police officer who is running the inquiry, 0:41:29.840 --> 0:41:32.600 the Greens and the Liberals. It's a conspiracy theory freak show. 0:41:33.000 --> 0:41:34.960 So the Premier does not want his staff to appear 0:41:34.960 --> 0:41:38.400 before this particular inquiry, so that they're unlikely to turn 0:41:38.480 --> 0:41:40.480 up at ten forty five tomorrow. So Ben Franklin's going 0:41:40.480 --> 0:41:43.760 to make a decision. Will he ask the Supreme Court 0:41:43.920 --> 0:41:48.560 to issue arrest warrants for these five staff members, maybe 0:41:48.640 --> 0:41:51.200 keep them in custody overnight, or will he side with 0:41:51.239 --> 0:41:54.520 the Premier. But he's the twist. If he sides with 0:41:54.600 --> 0:41:58.680 the Premier when Parliament resumes next week, the Upper House 0:41:58.800 --> 0:42:02.880 MPs could cause call out a no confidence motion and 0:42:02.880 --> 0:42:05.000 they then have the numbers against the government. They could 0:42:05.080 --> 0:42:08.000 have no confidence in Ben Franklin. Okay, you might think, 0:42:08.040 --> 0:42:11.320 so what, but that could mean that Ben Franklin loses 0:42:11.360 --> 0:42:14.160 his job. Now, Ben Franklin is on a good wicket. 0:42:14.200 --> 0:42:17.280 He's paid in excess I believe of three hundred thousand dollars, 0:42:18.080 --> 0:42:20.120 and he has all the he has a special office, 0:42:20.160 --> 0:42:22.239 he has all the luxuries of being the President of 0:42:22.280 --> 0:42:24.560 the up House. So he's going to face a choice. 0:42:25.360 --> 0:42:29.080 Does he stick by the Premier and risk his job 0:42:29.120 --> 0:42:32.439 if there's a no confidence motion or does he order 0:42:32.760 --> 0:42:36.120 And this would be unprecedented the arrest of government staff 0:42:36.160 --> 0:42:41.520 members for not giving evidence to an inquiry. It's completely 0:42:41.600 --> 0:42:43.799 unheard of, and it might seem like a bunch of 0:42:43.840 --> 0:42:46.840 you know, the semantics that don't really matter, but it's 0:42:47.840 --> 0:42:52.560 quite unprecedented what's going on now. Somehow, I don't think 0:42:52.600 --> 0:42:55.160 it's going to come to all this tomorrow. It's going 0:42:55.200 --> 0:42:58.799 to be fascinating to watch. But the Premier himself, he 0:42:58.920 --> 0:43:00.880 is not. He can't be com held to appear for 0:43:00.960 --> 0:43:04.279 this inquiry. And the staff, the chief of staff of 0:43:04.320 --> 0:43:06.960 the Premier's Office, he has given evidence to these styles 0:43:07.000 --> 0:43:09.200 of inquiries before and it might just be a whole 0:43:09.239 --> 0:43:12.120 tactic to put Chris Min's in a position so he 0:43:12.160 --> 0:43:16.480 fronts up to this inquiry. Staff from the Premier's Office 0:43:16.520 --> 0:43:19.800 have actually regularly given evidence to these inquiries over the years, 0:43:20.280 --> 0:43:23.719 but they believe this one is more complicated. There's a 0:43:23.760 --> 0:43:25.879 dispute between the Lower House and the Upper House about 0:43:25.880 --> 0:43:30.320 the inquiry. There are issues before the Privileges Committee of Parliament. 0:43:31.080 --> 0:43:33.920 There's issues about whether this inquiry is justified at all. 0:43:34.000 --> 0:43:37.919 So it's a complete political mess. But the threat here 0:43:38.080 --> 0:43:41.080 is that there could be I shouldn't laugh because I 0:43:41.120 --> 0:43:43.760 know the people involved here, but they could be arrested 0:43:43.760 --> 0:43:45.920 and thrown in a prison cell, or there could be 0:43:45.960 --> 0:43:47.920 a vote of no conference in Ben Franklin, who then 0:43:48.000 --> 0:43:50.040 risks his job which pays more than three hundred thousand 0:43:50.040 --> 0:43:50.560 dollars a year. 0:43:50.760 --> 0:43:53.880 If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear it on Sydney 0:43:53.920 --> 0:43:55.320 Now with Clinton. 0:43:55.719 --> 0:43:58.319 On to gb Okay, let's find out if we can 0:43:58.360 --> 0:44:01.399 find discover what's happening in Campbelltown the Reland Road. We've 0:44:01.400 --> 0:44:04.600 seen police cars racing down Therellan Road in the last 0:44:04.880 --> 0:44:07.239 ten minutes or so. Wayne has a little bit more 0:44:07.239 --> 0:44:08.680 information for us, Salo. Wayne. 0:44:09.280 --> 0:44:10.680 Okay, mate, how are you good? 0:44:10.680 --> 0:44:11.279 What do you know? 0:44:12.520 --> 0:44:16.680 Okay? I just I just exited an Irellan Road southbound 0:44:17.480 --> 0:44:20.680 and in the northbound lanes in the breakdown bay, there 0:44:20.760 --> 0:44:23.799 was four police cars and two ambulances all with their 0:44:23.880 --> 0:44:27.360 lights on, and there was two highway patrol cars in 0:44:27.400 --> 0:44:30.440 the sense divide with their lights on, and the police 0:44:30.480 --> 0:44:33.600 stand and they look like they're waiting for somebody or something, 0:44:33.640 --> 0:44:36.000 but I don't know what, but they're all There was 0:44:36.040 --> 0:44:39.120 four cop cars and two ambulances in the breakdown bay 0:44:39.560 --> 0:44:43.320 and another two in the media industry, all waiting for somebody. 0:44:43.400 --> 0:44:46.239 Okay, thanks that eyewitness report there. Wayne. David is also 0:44:46.280 --> 0:44:47.960 in the area. What have you seen, David? 0:44:49.400 --> 0:44:52.400 Yeah, I saw the same thing, mate, compending to some 0:44:52.560 --> 0:44:54.160 one in the back of the ambers that they had 0:44:54.160 --> 0:44:56.920 a bottleproof vest on and then there's two cop cars 0:44:56.960 --> 0:44:58.080 waiting for escorts. 0:44:58.239 --> 0:44:59.759 It said medical escort. 0:45:00.080 --> 0:45:02.239 The police you saw had bulletproof vests on. 0:45:03.400 --> 0:45:05.600 Yeah, leading into the back of the Airbo. 0:45:06.000 --> 0:45:08.479 Okay, would that would be the reason why the local 0:45:08.560 --> 0:45:12.200 police have referred us to police headquarters for an official statement. Steve, 0:45:12.520 --> 0:45:16.560 you have some information. What have you seen, Steve, I've 0:45:16.560 --> 0:45:17.400 got the same. 0:45:17.160 --> 0:45:19.880 Thing as them as I've never seen the urgent medical 0:45:20.000 --> 0:45:27.480 escort on police in the middle of the a leadiumship 0:45:27.560 --> 0:45:28.480 of HU Motorway. 0:45:30.680 --> 0:45:32.680 Okay, thanks for letting us know about this. We will 0:45:32.719 --> 0:45:35.960 seek that information from police headquarters now about what's transpired 0:45:36.000 --> 0:45:38.920 because if there are a police who who are using 0:45:39.239 --> 0:45:41.960 bulletproof vests at the moment, obviously this is a deep concern. 0:45:42.040 --> 0:45:45.880 But this is an unfolding situation. Norell And Road Campbelltown. Certainly, 0:45:45.880 --> 0:45:47.799 if you can provide us with some information, send me 0:45:47.840 --> 0:45:50.439 a text message zero force of zero eight seven three 0:45:50.520 --> 0:45:55.600 eight seven three. More and more Australians are buying electric vehicles, 0:45:55.840 --> 0:45:58.279 whether you're a fan of them or not. There's going 0:45:58.320 --> 0:46:01.000 to be an issue about how our roads are funded 0:46:01.200 --> 0:46:04.839 in the future when the take up rate increases. As 0:46:04.880 --> 0:46:07.680 you realize you pay for the upkeep of our roads 0:46:07.760 --> 0:46:10.600 through fuel excise and registration and all the other taxes 0:46:10.600 --> 0:46:13.879 that we pay. But ev drivers well, they don't pay 0:46:13.920 --> 0:46:17.279 the same amount because they don't pay fuel excise. The 0:46:17.320 --> 0:46:20.080 Treasurer Jim Charmers, well, he's now coming around to the 0:46:20.160 --> 0:46:22.560 view that EV owners should be paying their fair share 0:46:23.120 --> 0:46:25.560 and he is suggesting a new rows who use a charge. 0:46:25.680 --> 0:46:28.080 Now New South Wales has been looking and introducing a 0:46:28.160 --> 0:46:31.879 tax by twenty twenty seven. Particularly i VV sales can 0:46:31.920 --> 0:46:34.400 increase to about thirty percent if it reaches and I 0:46:34.400 --> 0:46:36.759 think that's maybe about ten percent of the moment, but 0:46:36.760 --> 0:46:38.520 if we reach the level of thirty percent, it's going 0:46:38.560 --> 0:46:40.719 to have a big impact on the budget and New 0:46:40.800 --> 0:46:43.080 South Wales will have to act. There's a problem though, 0:46:43.120 --> 0:46:45.400 because there was taxes in Victoria that were introduced and 0:46:45.440 --> 0:46:47.960 they were knocked over by the High Court. The charge 0:46:47.960 --> 0:46:50.759 would potentially be based on how far you drive, So 0:46:51.000 --> 0:46:54.320 under this particular proposal, there'd be a charge of two 0:46:54.360 --> 0:46:57.560 point nine zero six cents per kilometer. So you were 0:46:57.600 --> 0:47:01.080 to drive say fifteen hundred k's a year, it'd be 0:47:01.080 --> 0:47:03.520 four hundred and thirty five dollars each year and the 0:47:03.560 --> 0:47:06.360 rate would increase with inflation. Now, the federal government is 0:47:06.440 --> 0:47:09.360 not finalized this because partly because Victoria has had the 0:47:09.360 --> 0:47:11.839 problems with the High Court. If you have an ev 0:47:13.200 --> 0:47:15.040 What do you think about that? Do you think that'd 0:47:15.080 --> 0:47:17.440 be fair if you do have to pay a charge? 0:47:17.640 --> 0:47:20.359 Trent nikolicch covers all motoring issues with us from drive 0:47:20.400 --> 0:47:21.399 dot com dot AU. 0:47:21.440 --> 0:47:25.080 Hello Trent, Hello mate, Good afternoon to your listeners as well. 0:47:25.160 --> 0:47:26.719 It has been on the agenda for some time, but 0:47:26.760 --> 0:47:28.960 this is really the first time the gym charmers, the 0:47:29.000 --> 0:47:31.319 federal Treasurer has come out and said, look, we need 0:47:31.320 --> 0:47:34.440 to do something. We do need a charge for EV drivers, 0:47:34.480 --> 0:47:35.799 don't we. 0:47:35.800 --> 0:47:38.000 Well absolutely, I mean it had to happen. You and 0:47:38.000 --> 0:47:40.320 I have been talking about it and your lists although 0:47:40.480 --> 0:47:44.040 that I've spoken about it before. And if the federal Minister, 0:47:44.280 --> 0:47:46.840 Chris Bowen is the one pushing everybody to buy evs 0:47:46.880 --> 0:47:49.080 and talking about how great they are, well, then the 0:47:49.080 --> 0:47:51.960 federal government, which collects the fuel excise, as you said, 0:47:52.360 --> 0:47:54.080 is going to need to come up with a way 0:47:54.239 --> 0:47:57.719 of ensuring that electric vehicles are using the roads. 0:47:57.360 --> 0:48:00.000 Fairly, because if you've got a hybrid at the moment, 0:48:00.120 --> 0:48:02.960 right so, toyoud has been very successful with hybrids. I 0:48:02.960 --> 0:48:04.839 think all of their passenger fleet to the moment, it's 0:48:04.880 --> 0:48:07.239 not a high lux, but the general passenger fleet. There 0:48:07.280 --> 0:48:10.319 are hybrids, you are still paying some excise, but not 0:48:10.360 --> 0:48:11.440 as much as other users. 0:48:12.280 --> 0:48:12.480 Yeah. 0:48:12.480 --> 0:48:16.440 Absolutely, So if you're talking about a medium suv and 0:48:16.480 --> 0:48:19.000 one is hybrid and one is not, And just in 0:48:19.040 --> 0:48:21.840 case your listeners aren't aware, the fuel excise is around 0:48:21.920 --> 0:48:25.279 about fifty cents a liter, it's a lot, right, So 0:48:25.440 --> 0:48:27.680 it's a hell of a lot. It's between fifty and 0:48:27.719 --> 0:48:32.439 fifty one. If you're driving a regular suv and one 0:48:32.560 --> 0:48:35.520 is not hybrid and one is, the hybrid will use 0:48:35.560 --> 0:48:37.839 about half as much fuel to do the same job. 0:48:38.200 --> 0:48:41.000 So you are still paying fuel excise, but you're paying 0:48:41.040 --> 0:48:43.560 about half as much as a regular vehicle owner. 0:48:43.920 --> 0:48:46.920 Okay, so how do you believe this system should be 0:48:47.040 --> 0:48:48.200 going for going forward? 0:48:49.160 --> 0:48:51.480 Well, look, every time it's mentioned, there'll be the typical 0:48:51.560 --> 0:48:54.399 bleeding and whining from the EV Council and anybody who's 0:48:54.400 --> 0:48:56.800 an advocate for all of us to be driving electric vehicles. 0:48:56.840 --> 0:48:59.560 So let's just put all of that noise to one side, 0:48:59.640 --> 0:49:02.800 because you know, everybody knows that people who own electric 0:49:02.920 --> 0:49:05.480 vehicles have been getting a free ride since day one. 0:49:05.600 --> 0:49:08.319 The cars were subsidized to start with, and in many 0:49:08.320 --> 0:49:11.960 cases still were until recently. The charging was subsidized the 0:49:12.000 --> 0:49:14.719 infrastructure for the charging was paid for by somebody else, 0:49:14.960 --> 0:49:17.160 and in a lot of instances the charging was free. 0:49:17.239 --> 0:49:19.879 So if you put all of that to one side, 0:49:20.120 --> 0:49:22.080 the next thing that then comes up is a per 0:49:22.160 --> 0:49:25.120 kilometer charge. As you said, a lot of people say, 0:49:25.160 --> 0:49:27.160 and even I thought this in the beginning. I thought, well, 0:49:27.160 --> 0:49:30.040 that's going to penalize the people who live in the 0:49:30.080 --> 0:49:33.279 outer suburbs who have to travel long distances for work. 0:49:33.520 --> 0:49:36.560 But the unfortunate reality for those people, and in effect 0:49:36.600 --> 0:49:38.120 you and I are a bit like that, right, we 0:49:38.160 --> 0:49:40.359 don't live in the inner city, so all of us 0:49:40.360 --> 0:49:43.680 who have to travel a bit further, the unfortunate reality 0:49:43.719 --> 0:49:46.800 is we're already being penalized because we use more fuel 0:49:47.120 --> 0:49:50.399 and therefore we pay more fuel excise. So you know, 0:49:50.640 --> 0:49:53.799 the number for the average Australian at the moment is 0:49:53.840 --> 0:49:56.200 somewhere around two and a half or three thousand bucks 0:49:56.200 --> 0:49:59.759 a year. You're paying in fuel excise as part of 0:49:59.800 --> 0:50:03.040 your fuel use. So I think it's the number landed 0:50:03.080 --> 0:50:05.520 around about that for the average distance traveled. 0:50:05.680 --> 0:50:06.480 I think that's fair. 0:50:07.000 --> 0:50:10.800 EV's sales of EVS and Europe of plat ode in Australia, 0:50:11.000 --> 0:50:13.040 it's probably a little slow than it was. You review 0:50:13.040 --> 0:50:15.480 evs all the time, you're on anti electric vehicle. Do 0:50:15.560 --> 0:50:17.480 you think that the take up rate is going to 0:50:17.520 --> 0:50:19.960 keep slowing or do you think there'll be a change. 0:50:21.040 --> 0:50:24.200 I think we've reached a really interesting point. Plug in 0:50:24.280 --> 0:50:27.000 hybrids and hybrids have gone through the roof in terms 0:50:27.040 --> 0:50:30.840 of sales, and electric vehicles have plateaued or gone backward 0:50:30.880 --> 0:50:32.920 a little bit. I think last year the number was 0:50:33.000 --> 0:50:35.319 just rounded out at just over six percent. The year 0:50:35.360 --> 0:50:38.279 before it was just over eight percent in Australia new 0:50:38.360 --> 0:50:41.880 vehicle sales. I think the problem that you've got clinton 0:50:41.960 --> 0:50:45.359 and again, the example I use all the time is 0:50:45.719 --> 0:50:48.600 a Porsche nine to eleven is a fantastic car, but 0:50:48.680 --> 0:50:52.040 not for everybody and not for every driving discipline. Therefore, 0:50:52.400 --> 0:50:54.520 I don't recommend that everybody go out and try and 0:50:54.520 --> 0:50:56.719 buy a Porsche nine to eleven. Now, obviously that's an 0:50:56.719 --> 0:50:59.560 outlandish example, but an electric vehicles the same. There's a 0:50:59.600 --> 0:51:01.279 lot of things that it doesn't do well. There are 0:51:01.280 --> 0:51:03.560 plenty of things that it does very well. So I 0:51:03.600 --> 0:51:06.160 think for those of you who live in the city, 0:51:06.200 --> 0:51:09.200 who don't travel long distances, who don't go four wheel 0:51:09.280 --> 0:51:11.920 driving or toe caravans or use your vehicle for work 0:51:12.160 --> 0:51:15.239 for long distance driving, then you should absolutely consider an 0:51:15.239 --> 0:51:17.360 EV if you can afford it. But I think what's 0:51:17.360 --> 0:51:19.640 happened is a lot of Australians Clinton have sort of 0:51:20.239 --> 0:51:22.680 really thought about it over the last twelve to eighteen 0:51:22.719 --> 0:51:25.680 months and thought, you know what, an electric vehicle doesn't 0:51:25.719 --> 0:51:28.960 actually do exactly what I need my car to do 0:51:29.120 --> 0:51:31.680 right now, and therefore I can't buy one. 0:51:31.760 --> 0:51:33.959 It's all about balance. Thank you, Trent, Thank you mate, 0:51:34.000 --> 0:51:36.480 Trent nickoltriendrive dot com dot Au've got a view and 0:51:36.520 --> 0:51:38.279 maybe you're an owner of an EV. How do you 0:51:38.320 --> 0:51:39.920 think we should proceed with this because we still need 0:51:39.960 --> 0:51:41.759 to be able to fund the roads. Let me know 0:51:41.840 --> 0:51:43.920 one three one eight seven three. There is an unfolding 0:51:43.960 --> 0:51:47.560 situation in the Campbelltown area. So as we've been reporting 0:51:47.600 --> 0:51:50.279 with your help this afternoon, up to four to five 0:51:50.320 --> 0:51:54.160 police vehicles on Norellan Road along with ambulance officers that 0:51:54.160 --> 0:51:57.759 are attending to a particular event there. Now what it 0:51:57.840 --> 0:52:00.520 looks like based on what you're telling and we are 0:52:00.560 --> 0:52:02.840 seeking a formal statement from the police at the moment, 0:52:02.960 --> 0:52:05.480 is somebody is being loaded into the back of an 0:52:05.480 --> 0:52:08.880 ambulance that the paramedics are being assisted by police who 0:52:08.920 --> 0:52:12.040 are wearing bulletproof fists. The information is very scant at 0:52:12.040 --> 0:52:16.800 the moment. This is on Norellan Road near the Hume Highway, 0:52:16.880 --> 0:52:18.279 so it must just be at the intersection of the 0:52:18.280 --> 0:52:20.600 on ramps there. There are some roads blocked off in 0:52:20.640 --> 0:52:23.480 that region as well. When I get some more information formally, 0:52:23.520 --> 0:52:26.239 i'll bring this to you. But this is Norellan Road 0:52:26.320 --> 0:52:29.120 heading into Hume Highway, so there is a police operation 0:52:29.239 --> 0:52:31.560 unfolding right at the moment. Now I'm getting some more 0:52:31.560 --> 0:52:33.960 information about what's going to occur at Parlman House tomorrow 0:52:34.400 --> 0:52:37.400 with this suggestion that as many as five government staffers 0:52:37.440 --> 0:52:39.920 could be arrested, and it seems a little far fetched, 0:52:40.880 --> 0:52:43.919 but this is going to play out tomorrow morning, five 0:52:43.960 --> 0:52:46.319 government staffers who've been called to give evidence to the 0:52:46.400 --> 0:52:51.000 inquiry into the dual caravan issue. And the staff members 0:52:51.280 --> 0:52:54.640 won't be giving evidence. Now I've been told with this 0:52:54.680 --> 0:52:57.400 suggestion of being arrested, they wouldn't be put in jail, 0:52:57.480 --> 0:53:00.319 for instance, they'd be held at Parliament House, so they'd 0:53:00.320 --> 0:53:02.360 probably be told to stay in your offices while we 0:53:02.440 --> 0:53:05.840 sought this out. But I've also just been sent some 0:53:06.400 --> 0:53:12.239 details of legislation, so, for instance, the penalty refusing to 0:53:12.320 --> 0:53:16.320 answer questions before one of these inquiries. If any witnesses 0:53:16.360 --> 0:53:19.759 refuse to answer any lawful question during the witnesses examination, 0:53:19.880 --> 0:53:22.480 so this is if they actually appear, the witness shall 0:53:22.520 --> 0:53:25.040 be deemed guilty of contempt of Parliament and may be 0:53:25.200 --> 0:53:29.200 forthwith committed for such an defense into custody of the 0:53:29.280 --> 0:53:32.040 Usher of the black Rod or Sergeant at Arms, So 0:53:32.080 --> 0:53:34.600 that would indicate the Usher of the black Rod bloke 0:53:34.600 --> 0:53:39.160 who runs the Upper House Parliament. He then confine that 0:53:39.440 --> 0:53:41.440 person who didn't give the evidence to a particular room 0:53:41.480 --> 0:53:45.440 at Parliament House. However, the legislation goes on to say 0:53:45.520 --> 0:53:49.480 if the House so order to jail for any period 0:53:49.560 --> 0:53:52.680 not exceeding one calendar month by warrant under the hand 0:53:52.680 --> 0:53:56.720 of the Speaker or the President. I don't think anyone's 0:53:56.719 --> 0:53:58.200 going to be sent to jail for a month over this, 0:53:59.000 --> 0:54:00.479 but it's going to be a fight the next twenty 0:54:00.480 --> 0:54:05.359 four hours. The unfolding situation in Campbelltown, Norell Road, just 0:54:05.440 --> 0:54:07.399 near the Hume Highway. We've had reports of as many 0:54:07.440 --> 0:54:11.280 as five six police cars, several ambulances, somebody being loaded 0:54:11.280 --> 0:54:13.400 into the back of one of those ambulances by police 0:54:13.520 --> 0:54:17.080 wearing bulletproof vests. John's just sent me a message. He 0:54:17.120 --> 0:54:20.160 says he's seen eight police cars escorting two ambulances on 0:54:20.239 --> 0:54:23.520 Moorbank Avenue to Liverpool Hospital. That may well be related 0:54:23.520 --> 0:54:26.120 to the incident from Campbelltown. We are now hearing from 0:54:26.160 --> 0:54:29.800 multiple sources. We are still to get confirmation from the police. 0:54:30.640 --> 0:54:32.840 But there is an investigation into a shooting at the 0:54:32.880 --> 0:54:37.080 Elderly caravan park, so that's near Camden So further south. 0:54:37.160 --> 0:54:39.760 We are seeking confirmation at the moment from the police 0:54:39.760 --> 0:54:42.640 at what is exactly happening. Let's check out his headlines. 0:54:46.920 --> 0:54:47.680 Now we've got the latest. 0:54:47.719 --> 0:54:50.759 Katie Fuller, Good afternoon, Clinton. As you've been saying, it's 0:54:50.840 --> 0:54:53.600 understood a man has been shot by police in a 0:54:53.640 --> 0:54:57.960 caravan park at Elderly in Sydney's southwest. Heavily armed police 0:54:58.080 --> 0:55:01.040 are on scene. CEB resident so being worn to be 0:55:01.160 --> 0:55:04.440 on alert for symptoms of Legionnaire's disease. There's been an 0:55:04.480 --> 0:55:08.400 outbreak at Pott's Point. New South Wales Health is investigating 0:55:08.440 --> 0:55:11.439 to find this source. The sole survivor of the Air 0:55:11.560 --> 0:55:15.280 India plane crash, who's farewelled his brother who was killed 0:55:15.400 --> 0:55:18.359 in the crash. He was discharged from hospital a few 0:55:18.440 --> 0:55:21.680 days ago and helped carry the coffin at his funeral. 0:55:22.080 --> 0:55:26.120 And two lifelong sweethearts from Newcastle have been recognized as 0:55:26.120 --> 0:55:30.359 the nation's longest married couple. Delma and Frank Murray tied 0:55:30.440 --> 0:55:33.879 the not eighty years ago. In Sport, a tennis fan 0:55:33.960 --> 0:55:37.879 has luckily avoided serious injury after being struck by a 0:55:37.920 --> 0:55:42.040 falling advertising banner at a tournament in Germany. The sixty 0:55:42.080 --> 0:55:44.600 two year old woman was handed an ice pack by 0:55:44.680 --> 0:55:48.840 local hero Alexander Zerev before going to hospital for further tests. 0:55:49.160 --> 0:55:50.800 Clinton More News at five. 0:55:50.840 --> 0:55:53.239 K Katie fifteen degrees in the city, thirteen degrees at 0:55:53.280 --> 0:55:55.200 Terry Hills. At the moment of a message from one 0:55:55.200 --> 0:55:57.600 of our listeners, the police convoy has just gone past 0:55:57.719 --> 0:56:01.360 Liverpool Station, the train station. They're heading towards the hospital, 0:56:01.400 --> 0:56:03.520 so they'd be at the hospital now. So, as Katie 0:56:03.560 --> 0:56:06.520 just mentioned in the news, reports that police have been 0:56:06.560 --> 0:56:10.640 involved in a shooting at the Elderly Caravan Park, which 0:56:10.719 --> 0:56:13.680 is near Camden. We are seeking confirmation from the police 0:56:13.680 --> 0:56:17.400 about what exactly has transpired, but we've had eyewitness reports 0:56:17.400 --> 0:56:19.440 of somebody being loaded into the back of an ambulance 0:56:19.520 --> 0:56:22.279 on the Reland Road, so not far from Campbelltown. The 0:56:22.320 --> 0:56:26.480 police were wearing bulletproof vests, so we will find out 0:56:26.520 --> 0:56:29.840 exactly what's happening from the police shortly. But would appear 0:56:29.880 --> 0:56:32.839 that somebody is now being taken to Liverpool Hospital under 0:56:32.840 --> 0:56:41.200 a police convoy. On evs, electric vehicles, how should they 0:56:41.239 --> 0:56:43.840 be taxed? How should the driver of an EV contribute 0:56:43.840 --> 0:56:47.200 to road maintenance costs? Ricks in Lagano? Good afternoon, Rick. 0:56:48.960 --> 0:56:52.640 Quinn, Yeah, a good afternoon, great mate, haven't got missing 0:56:52.640 --> 0:56:56.319 as exciting as you're breaking news, but just on the 0:56:56.880 --> 0:57:01.399 road user costs for electric vehicles. They charged seventy eight 0:57:01.440 --> 0:57:05.360 dollars one thousand kilometers for a full EV and they 0:57:05.520 --> 0:57:09.080 charged thirty eight dollars a thousand kilometers for a pH EV. 0:57:09.080 --> 0:57:11.560 And so how is I wonder how that's governed? Do 0:57:11.600 --> 0:57:14.800 you your self? I just wonder how they's governed. Does 0:57:14.840 --> 0:57:16.760 the driver of the EV self report how. 0:57:16.680 --> 0:57:17.200 Far they go? 0:57:18.400 --> 0:57:20.960 They got to buy a voucher and it's got to 0:57:20.960 --> 0:57:24.960 be displayed on the wind screen, and if they're pulled up, 0:57:25.040 --> 0:57:28.040 it doesn't comply or match their fined. 0:57:28.440 --> 0:57:31.520 Okay, Thanks for that information, Jason. What's your thought on 0:57:31.560 --> 0:57:31.960 this one. 0:57:31.840 --> 0:57:37.640 Jason, just about the governing that what my idea was, 0:57:38.320 --> 0:57:41.120 we've got to as a petrol car every five years, 0:57:41.120 --> 0:57:43.520 we've got to get a pink slip. So why don't 0:57:43.520 --> 0:57:45.880 we have a safety check for all the evs and 0:57:46.320 --> 0:57:49.920 our hybrids every year and then they record the kilometers 0:57:50.120 --> 0:57:53.520 after that and then charged a certain amount. 0:57:53.640 --> 0:57:56.080 Yeah, because at once it's it's the first five is 0:57:56.080 --> 0:57:57.760 it the first five years or three years of car 0:57:57.800 --> 0:58:02.520 ownership that you don't actually require inspection five years I'm 0:58:02.520 --> 0:58:03.520 getting mined Une to morrow. 0:58:04.800 --> 0:58:09.800 Yeah, been at Lithian Battery with the evs. Wouldn't they 0:58:10.200 --> 0:58:14.840 have to be checked as a safety each year just 0:58:15.200 --> 0:58:18.240 so they can record the kilometers down and then after 0:58:18.320 --> 0:58:21.560 that's done it's been posted in the mail. How much 0:58:21.600 --> 0:58:22.120 they got to pay? 0:58:22.240 --> 0:58:23.480 Yeah, that may be one way to deal with it. 0:58:23.520 --> 0:58:26.000 Thank you. Jason. Rod is an EV and Rod makes 0:58:26.120 --> 0:58:28.280 a point here on the text line, how about those 0:58:28.320 --> 0:58:31.280 with internal combustion engine cars? How about attacks for the 0:58:31.320 --> 0:58:34.640 carbon emissions produced? Well? Our politicians over the years, Rod 0:58:34.640 --> 0:58:38.040 have certainly promised no carbon tax. Straight shooters coming up 0:58:38.040 --> 0:58:40.080 with David Elliott in a moment, we are just piecing 0:58:40.120 --> 0:58:43.680 together exactly what's transpired in Camden and Norellan over the 0:58:43.720 --> 0:58:47.120 past half hour or so. I'm looking at live video 0:58:47.240 --> 0:58:50.160 that's coming in from the Channel nine helicopter of the 0:58:50.280 --> 0:58:54.720 Elderly caravan Park which is in Camden, so i can 0:58:54.760 --> 0:58:57.760 see there's a police car and there's another emergency surfers 0:58:57.960 --> 0:59:02.640 vehicle at this particular Carr Park. Now our understanding is 0:59:02.760 --> 0:59:07.280 a man has been shot by the police and likely 0:59:07.320 --> 0:59:09.920 that man has now been taken to Liverpool Hospital. So 0:59:10.000 --> 0:59:14.680 there's then been a situation nearby Norelln Road where a 0:59:14.760 --> 0:59:17.160 man has been seen by our listeners being loaded into 0:59:17.200 --> 0:59:19.760 the back of an ambulance but assisted by police. With 0:59:19.800 --> 0:59:23.800 the paramedics than the police were wearing wearing armored vests, 0:59:24.120 --> 0:59:28.480 bulletproof vests. So we still don't have official confirmation from 0:59:28.520 --> 0:59:30.919 the police about what has transpired in the past half 0:59:30.920 --> 0:59:35.200 an hour or so, but certainly there has been it 0:59:35.400 --> 0:59:37.960 his I'm looking at live pictures at the moment of 0:59:38.280 --> 0:59:41.200 the caravan park. There's been a shooting at a caravan 0:59:41.280 --> 0:59:45.320 park where it would appear that police have shot somebody 0:59:45.400 --> 0:59:48.480 in this caravan park. We don't know the circumstances surrounding that. 0:59:49.160 --> 0:59:51.640 From what you've told me, you've seen a police convoy 0:59:52.280 --> 0:59:55.880 heading back towards Liverpool to Liverpool Hospital. Will bring you 0:59:55.920 --> 0:59:59.600 more information as it comes to hand on Sydney. 0:59:59.640 --> 1:00:05.840 Now you trans handle the truth the street steam well. 1:00:05.840 --> 1:00:08.120 The former Policemani's David Elliott joins me at this time 1:00:08.160 --> 1:00:09.920 every day and David, you can see the vision that 1:00:09.920 --> 1:00:11.920 I'm looking at the moment of the caravan park, which 1:00:12.200 --> 1:00:15.000 it's difficult to ascertain exactly what's transpired, but this does 1:00:15.040 --> 1:00:18.240 demonstrate that the dangers that police confront almost every day. 1:00:18.320 --> 1:00:20.640 Well, that's right, and we're very very unusual in this 1:00:20.760 --> 1:00:23.840 date to see police actually draw their weapons, let alone 1:00:23.960 --> 1:00:26.560 use it. It does happen, obviously, but not compared to a 1:00:26.600 --> 1:00:29.680 lot of other jurisdictions, both here and overseas. And by 1:00:29.680 --> 1:00:32.320 the looks of it, that's a Camden patrol car with 1:00:32.440 --> 1:00:37.080 the command vehicle from New Southwales Police and I think 1:00:37.120 --> 1:00:40.320 that you'll probably have a critical incident team there as 1:00:40.360 --> 1:00:43.240 well as a debriefing of the poor officer who's had 1:00:43.240 --> 1:00:44.040 to use that firearm. 1:00:44.280 --> 1:00:47.040 So the critical incident is always called whenever the police 1:00:47.200 --> 1:00:51.840 open fire, and this circumstances. Automatically it's deemed a critical incident. Yep, Okay, 1:00:51.880 --> 1:00:54.000 Now I can see the vision I'm looking at the 1:00:54.000 --> 1:00:56.120 moment it is focusing on. When I say it's a 1:00:56.120 --> 1:00:59.840 caravan park. This features some of those those temporary on 1:01:00.040 --> 1:01:04.200 site vans. There is police tape that's now wrapped around 1:01:04.200 --> 1:01:07.000 one of those on site vans, and I'm looking from 1:01:07.040 --> 1:01:09.600 the Channe nine helicopter at the moment, so it would 1:01:09.680 --> 1:01:13.800 appear that the incident has occurred around that on site van. 1:01:13.880 --> 1:01:16.880 We don't know whether it was inside the mobile home 1:01:17.240 --> 1:01:19.960 or on the grounds of the caravan, but our understanding 1:01:20.040 --> 1:01:23.240 is the person who has been shot is now in 1:01:23.280 --> 1:01:28.680 Liverpool Hospital. Now your stomping ground and Macquarie Street. Indeed, 1:01:28.760 --> 1:01:32.000 we are seeing some unprecedented action transpiring at the moment, 1:01:32.040 --> 1:01:35.040 and I am being sent messages from all sides of politics. 1:01:35.040 --> 1:01:38.280 It's it's hard to know exactly what the rules are 1:01:38.360 --> 1:01:40.640 when it comes to somebody who is summons to appear 1:01:40.680 --> 1:01:43.920 before an Upper House inquiry. What we do know, and 1:01:43.960 --> 1:01:46.800 this all relates to the inquiry into the Dural caravan 1:01:46.800 --> 1:01:49.120 that was packed full of explosives. What we do know 1:01:49.800 --> 1:01:53.400 is a Lower House MP such as a premier or 1:01:53.440 --> 1:01:56.560 a police minister is not compelled to appear before these inquiries, 1:01:56.640 --> 1:01:58.640 so Chris Mins does not have to appear. 1:01:58.760 --> 1:02:03.360 Correct based on the principle that the premier and ministers 1:02:04.920 --> 1:02:09.800 have to respond or certainly reply to any questions in 1:02:09.920 --> 1:02:12.320 question time and then of course twice a year they go, 1:02:12.440 --> 1:02:17.080 if not more, they go before Estimates Committee. Now having 1:02:17.120 --> 1:02:18.600 said all of that, they don't even have to answer 1:02:18.680 --> 1:02:21.080 questions in question time. We used to say it's a 1:02:21.160 --> 1:02:24.200 question time, not answer time. And in the and An 1:02:24.280 --> 1:02:26.400 Estimates Committee you can put everything on notice. And I 1:02:26.400 --> 1:02:31.640 think this year Michael Michael Daily put a record number 1:02:31.680 --> 1:02:35.959 of questions onto notice. But I think what we're seeing 1:02:36.040 --> 1:02:40.720 here Clinton is a dangerous precedence being set. I think 1:02:40.760 --> 1:02:46.880 that the requests from the Parliament to subpoena and therefore 1:02:46.920 --> 1:02:50.320 threaten the arrest of staffers is dangerous. And I say 1:02:50.360 --> 1:02:54.960 that because staffers, parliamentary staff as political staff, as ministerial 1:02:54.960 --> 1:02:58.200 staffers are often exposed, well, are exposed to all the 1:02:58.240 --> 1:03:01.920 information that a minister is except what is debated in cabinet. 1:03:01.920 --> 1:03:04.080 But most debates in cabinet only occur on the back 1:03:04.120 --> 1:03:07.600 of a briefing center and advice that have been received. 1:03:07.840 --> 1:03:10.680 Sometimes the stuff has learned more than the minister and 1:03:10.720 --> 1:03:12.840 they don't ask for that information. It's part of their job. 1:03:13.040 --> 1:03:18.120 Their job is to comply with providing their job description, 1:03:18.240 --> 1:03:20.840 which says that they have to provide full and frank 1:03:20.840 --> 1:03:26.280 and fearless advice. So my appeal to the Upper House 1:03:26.400 --> 1:03:28.960 is be careful of the precedents that you set, because 1:03:29.080 --> 1:03:31.160 often they come back to bite you. 1:03:31.920 --> 1:03:33.480 Is there going to be a conflict of interest though? 1:03:33.480 --> 1:03:36.320 For the President Ben Franklin, So he would actually have 1:03:36.360 --> 1:03:41.200 to take the action to seek the arrests because he 1:03:41.280 --> 1:03:43.800 is close to Chris Mins. That's on the public record. 1:03:44.200 --> 1:03:46.160 If there was a vote of no confidence in him, 1:03:46.360 --> 1:03:49.080 if he doesn't take that action, would he put his 1:03:49.160 --> 1:03:50.800 job in jeopardy? Well, he probably could. 1:03:50.880 --> 1:03:52.320 I mean he puts his job in a jeputy in 1:03:52.360 --> 1:03:54.960 every decision that he makes, because you can dissent a 1:03:55.080 --> 1:03:59.840 chair's decision anytime you like in Parliament. I know Ben 1:04:00.200 --> 1:04:04.360 enough to have a faith in his decision making process. 1:04:05.560 --> 1:04:08.439 There's things that I haven't liked him do that he's done. 1:04:08.440 --> 1:04:10.800 There's things that I endorsed that have done, But he 1:04:10.840 --> 1:04:16.480 does risk having the Chamber move a motion of no confidence. 1:04:16.040 --> 1:04:17.960 In him, of getting messages from Nationals at the moment 1:04:17.960 --> 1:04:18.560 they're not happy. 1:04:18.640 --> 1:04:20.760 Well, they haven't been happy since he took the big 1:04:20.840 --> 1:04:23.880 chair in the job, so that doesn't surprise me. But 1:04:24.800 --> 1:04:28.520 I think that if he does something that is that 1:04:28.680 --> 1:04:31.960 is inconsistent with the will of the House, he risks 1:04:32.680 --> 1:04:35.160 having a motion of no confidence moved against him, and 1:04:35.200 --> 1:04:37.560 he'd probably have to step down, if not legally, have 1:04:37.600 --> 1:04:38.360 to step down. 1:04:38.200 --> 1:04:40.200 Which then means he loses the which. 1:04:40.040 --> 1:04:43.479 Benefit loses the position of President of the Upper House, 1:04:43.520 --> 1:04:46.440 which from what I could remember is one of the 1:04:46.480 --> 1:04:49.400 most is one of the lucrative ones. 1:04:49.680 --> 1:04:51.240 Well, he gets a lovely office. 1:04:51.120 --> 1:04:55.200 Lovely office, lovely Sarry Carr met the King, Yes, met 1:04:55.240 --> 1:04:58.919 the King as well. But it's not an easy job either, 1:04:59.000 --> 1:05:02.439 being the presiding office, particularly in a house where one 1:05:02.480 --> 1:05:04.240 political party doesn't have the majority. 1:05:04.320 --> 1:05:06.080 I reckon this is all just a political move to 1:05:06.120 --> 1:05:08.440 try to put pressure on Chris Mins to appear that 1:05:09.280 --> 1:05:10.800 he in the end won't want his staffed to he 1:05:10.840 --> 1:05:12.680 put in this position. He'll just front up himself. 1:05:12.720 --> 1:05:12.760 No. 1:05:12.920 --> 1:05:15.960 I think Chris's argument is the argument that every premier, Liberal, 1:05:16.040 --> 1:05:19.560 Labor and Calithumpian have moved have used since time immemorial. 1:05:19.720 --> 1:05:21.800 I answer questions in question time. It's you know, in 1:05:21.800 --> 1:05:23.960 the United Kingdom it's called the Prime Minister's question time. 1:05:24.000 --> 1:05:26.120 We just call it question time. He does, and he 1:05:26.200 --> 1:05:30.120 answers questions in press conferences, and he answers questions and 1:05:30.320 --> 1:05:34.640 estimates committee. So I actually have a bit of sympathy 1:05:34.680 --> 1:05:38.919 for him in his decision not to appear. But this 1:05:39.040 --> 1:05:42.440 is a very very awkward situation. I know, I can 1:05:42.480 --> 1:05:44.560 tell you, I can confirm that the police were very 1:05:44.800 --> 1:05:49.760 suspicious about the durl so called hoax terrorism. I'm nervous 1:05:49.760 --> 1:05:53.200 about the using the word hoax terrorism because all terrorism, 1:05:53.400 --> 1:05:57.880 if it creates fear, whether it's real or not, is terrorism. 1:05:58.000 --> 1:05:59.800 Christmas rightly has pointed out he said this to Ben 1:05:59.800 --> 1:06:02.920 this He said at the time that the Jewish community 1:06:02.920 --> 1:06:05.560 in the Eastern suburbs were still terrified. That's rights right. 1:06:06.000 --> 1:06:08.480 It's like intimidation. You know, if I say to you, 1:06:08.520 --> 1:06:10.720 I'm intimidated, even though if you don't believe you are 1:06:10.720 --> 1:06:13.760 intimidating me. We have to accept the fact that I 1:06:13.840 --> 1:06:16.520 feel intimidated and terror John Howard said the time and 1:06:16.560 --> 1:06:22.120 time again, if you change your lifestyle, if you're if 1:06:22.160 --> 1:06:25.560 your anxiety levels are influenced by terror, then you're a 1:06:25.640 --> 1:06:26.520 victim of terror. 1:06:26.720 --> 1:06:28.080 Coming up half the news, I'm going to talk to 1:06:28.080 --> 1:06:31.400 an Australian man who's flown back into Australia's day from Israel. 1:06:31.560 --> 1:06:33.280 He's one of the Australians who's managed to get out. 1:06:33.320 --> 1:06:35.920 Social media is very much changing the way where we're 1:06:35.960 --> 1:06:37.760 being informed about this particular event. 1:06:37.800 --> 1:06:42.040 And similars I can't believe Clinton looking at the social 1:06:42.080 --> 1:06:46.480 media that's coming out of the anti Israel movement and 1:06:47.440 --> 1:06:49.360 that they think that we believe it for a start 1:06:49.520 --> 1:06:52.080 is amazing. But there are people out there that do 1:06:52.200 --> 1:06:55.520 believe it, and they're using artificial intelligence to create what 1:06:55.640 --> 1:06:58.560 looks like a legitimate story, and that should be a 1:06:58.960 --> 1:07:01.080 concern to the mass media. It should be concerned to 1:07:01.120 --> 1:07:04.080 the mainstream media. And I think, I mean, I was 1:07:04.120 --> 1:07:07.360 actually with the Israeli Trade Commission this afternoon for a 1:07:07.400 --> 1:07:10.360 meeting regarding engineering and infrastructure and we had to chat 1:07:10.400 --> 1:07:11.840 about it, and I said, they said to me, what 1:07:11.840 --> 1:07:13.360 do we believe? And I said, you don't believe anything 1:07:13.360 --> 1:07:15.120 at the moment. You just do not believe anything at 1:07:15.120 --> 1:07:19.640 the moment. I think governments, our education institutions, the media. 1:07:19.960 --> 1:07:21.680 I think we have to start thinking. 1:07:21.400 --> 1:07:21.840 About with that. 1:07:22.040 --> 1:07:24.520 We're never going to be able to regulate artificial intelligence. 1:07:24.520 --> 1:07:26.960 We're never going to be able to regulate social media 1:07:27.200 --> 1:07:31.000 to the extent that it probably should be. But we 1:07:31.120 --> 1:07:34.120 need to make sure everybody is aware that you have 1:07:34.160 --> 1:07:37.080 to fact check everything because this does influence public opinion, 1:07:37.240 --> 1:07:42.080 and public opinions influences decisions by government, if not governments themselves. 1:07:42.080 --> 1:07:44.120 It's going to be very confusing in the future, isn't it? 1:07:44.600 --> 1:07:45.600 Managing life? 1:07:45.800 --> 1:07:46.040 Yeah? 1:07:46.080 --> 1:07:47.959 I mean, you and I have a laugh that we're lucky. 1:07:47.960 --> 1:07:49.600 We wouldn't be where we are today if they had 1:07:49.640 --> 1:07:52.080 social media when we were teenagers, because you know, they 1:07:52.160 --> 1:07:55.160 have too much evidence against me. But I am also 1:07:55.320 --> 1:07:59.440 concerned that my children are going to be making decisions 1:07:59.480 --> 1:08:04.200 on on just information or stories that have been made up. 1:08:05.440 --> 1:08:07.880 What a lighter note. The new Southwaires government announced a 1:08:07.920 --> 1:08:09.880 couple of days ago they're going to invest more money 1:08:09.920 --> 1:08:12.240 in the film industry, with the plan for a second 1:08:12.240 --> 1:08:14.680 big studio in Sydney. Does raise the question, what's the 1:08:14.920 --> 1:08:16.320 best Dozsie movie ever made? 1:08:16.400 --> 1:08:16.599 Well? 1:08:16.600 --> 1:08:18.720 Ben Englisch has got me exploring that He's had me 1:08:18.760 --> 1:08:21.400 exploring that all this week, and good on Chris Mins 1:08:21.439 --> 1:08:25.080 and and John Graham for that hundred million dollars. It's 1:08:25.240 --> 1:08:28.320 and as my Indian made says me, a billion Bollywood 1:08:28.680 --> 1:08:32.559 fans can't be wrong, you know, working putting money into 1:08:32.560 --> 1:08:34.880 the film industry is good for our tourism. It's good 1:08:34.920 --> 1:08:38.120 for the arts fraternity. But yes, ben I had me 1:08:38.360 --> 1:08:41.800 this week interviewing the great and good of Sydney and 1:08:41.840 --> 1:08:45.200 I spoke to a dozen people, Archbishop Fisher and Government House, 1:08:45.320 --> 1:08:48.040 the Premier himself, the opposition leader Mark Speakman. I spoke 1:08:48.080 --> 1:08:50.439 to Paul Nicholau. I spoke to Lady Elliott. I spoke 1:08:50.520 --> 1:08:53.760 to Susan Lee. I spoke to Natalie Wood and I 1:08:53.840 --> 1:08:56.680 got the list justin Hem's. Of course, I got the 1:08:56.720 --> 1:08:59.680 list of their favorite movies and we've we've cracked it 1:08:59.680 --> 1:09:04.040 down to nine. And of course you know, Nichols is 1:09:04.040 --> 1:09:07.639 a romantic movie about a very pretty girl whose father 1:09:07.680 --> 1:09:12.280 opposed her relationship with a rowdy fortune seeker until he 1:09:12.280 --> 1:09:15.639 had proven himself. So it imitates life that in that. 1:09:15.600 --> 1:09:18.640 Case, Crocodile Dundee I reckon kakodad. 1:09:18.439 --> 1:09:20.760 Gets to mention, I went to you by who but 1:09:21.080 --> 1:09:25.400 the largest grossing movie Australia has ever produced. And I 1:09:25.439 --> 1:09:28.799 think you know, we could never be able to ascertain 1:09:28.840 --> 1:09:32.120 how much money that movie made for Australian tourism. But 1:09:33.000 --> 1:09:36.519 the funniest is justin hems, you've got to be able 1:09:36.520 --> 1:09:39.599 to read why he believes that movie was his favorite. 1:09:40.600 --> 1:09:45.080 And I was really impressed. And of course Mark Speakman, 1:09:45.120 --> 1:09:49.160 being a lawyer, gave a movie about I offered up 1:09:49.160 --> 1:09:51.760 a movie about the legal fraternity, which I'm sure you'll 1:09:51.760 --> 1:09:54.919 be able to guess now and then. And the premiere 1:09:54.960 --> 1:09:57.760 is one really impressed me. And the reasons why he 1:09:58.240 --> 1:09:59.320 supported it was great. 1:09:59.439 --> 1:10:02.200 We can read that tomorrow on the Telegraph. Thanks David. 1:10:02.320 --> 1:10:05.200 Thank you, David Elliott, our straight shooter for a Thursday afternoon. 1:10:05.439 --> 1:10:07.960 It's two to five. More details now merging about what's 1:10:08.000 --> 1:10:11.439 been unfolding in Elderly So in the MacArthur region at 1:10:11.479 --> 1:10:15.800 a caravan park this afternoon. So we do know that 1:10:15.960 --> 1:10:18.719 police have shot a man. That man has been taken 1:10:18.760 --> 1:10:22.000 under police escort to Liverpool Hospital where we understand he's 1:10:22.000 --> 1:10:26.080 now being treated. The telegraphers reporting the police were called 1:10:26.080 --> 1:10:30.160 to that caravan park to reports of a man threatening 1:10:30.240 --> 1:10:32.639 self harm. He was armed with a knife. The area 1:10:32.680 --> 1:10:35.600 had been locked down. Residents were told to stay indoors. 1:10:35.640 --> 1:10:38.439 The Right Squad has then been deployed and I've seen 1:10:38.479 --> 1:10:41.120 some now vision Cursey a Channel nine of Right Squad 1:10:41.160 --> 1:10:44.960 police from a little earlier at the caravan park. Then 1:10:45.439 --> 1:10:48.080 around four o'clock there are reports of shots being fired 1:10:48.120 --> 1:10:53.200 by police. The armed person reportedly lunged at the police. 1:10:54.080 --> 1:10:56.439 That person was then treated by paramedics has then been 1:10:56.479 --> 1:10:58.760 taken a hospital under police escort. I also have a 1:10:58.760 --> 1:11:01.840 message here. This is a message was sent to people 1:11:01.920 --> 1:11:04.160 who are actually staying at the caravan park. And when 1:11:04.160 --> 1:11:05.720 I say caravan park, there are caravans there, but with 1:11:05.800 --> 1:11:07.599 a lot of on site vans, so people who would 1:11:07.600 --> 1:11:10.280 spend a lot of time at the park. And the 1:11:10.320 --> 1:11:14.400 message says it's from the Poplar Tourist Park. As you 1:11:14.439 --> 1:11:16.719 may be a where there's currently an incident within the park, 1:11:16.800 --> 1:11:19.720 please be advised that access to your cabin and your 1:11:19.720 --> 1:11:23.400 caravan space is temporarily restricted. A gazebo has been set 1:11:23.479 --> 1:11:25.759 up in the barbecue area for your convenience. We encourage 1:11:25.760 --> 1:11:27.880 you to make use of this space during time.

The police are yet to make a 1:11:34.600 --> 1:11:37.800 formal statement about exactly what has transpired, but we do 1:11:37.920 --> 1:11:40.080 know a man has been shot after an incident that 1:11:40.160 --> 1:11:42.719 involved the police. Rights squad been called to this particular 1:11:42.720 --> 1:11:46.360 caravan park in Elderly a little earlier this afternoon and 1:11:46.439 --> 1:11:48.320 a critical incident will be called. 1:11:48.560 --> 1:11:51.639 If it's happening in Sydney, you'll hear it on Sydney 1:11:51.680 --> 1:11:54.479 Now with Clinton Maynard on to GB. 1:11:55.160 --> 1:11:57.280 A busy final hout of the program coming up as well. 1:11:57.280 --> 1:11:59.439 I'm going to cross to an Australian man who's flown 1:11:59.479 --> 1:12:02.080 back in to Australia to day from Israel.

That's not going to 1:12:07.600 --> 1:12:09.680 be a special flight for instance, that's going to be 1:12:09.680 --> 1:12:12.360 bus trips across the border. I'll also give the chance 1:12:12.439 --> 1:12:15.240 to win when we spin two GB's Winter Wheel. 1:12:18.000 --> 1:12:22.520 There is Sydney Now with Clinton on TGB. 1:12:22.760 --> 1:12:24.800 Great new with you this Thursday evening one three one 1:12:24.880 --> 1:12:28.000 eight seven three is our number now. Situation continue and 1:12:28.040 --> 1:12:30.800 evolve in Sydney Southwest this afternoon where there has been 1:12:30.920 --> 1:12:34.200 a shooting. There was a siege within a caravan park 1:12:34.280 --> 1:12:38.519 Eldersly in the mccarthurage, not far from Camden. It started 1:12:38.640 --> 1:12:41.160 just after lunchtime and it has gone for some hours. 1:12:41.160 --> 1:12:44.160 The police Riots squad was actually called in and they 1:12:44.400 --> 1:12:47.719 surrounded the perimeter of where a particular caravan was located 1:12:47.760 --> 1:12:50.400 within that park. And I've been looking at some vision 1:12:50.600 --> 1:12:52.719 of the caravan park. There's a lot of on site 1:12:52.800 --> 1:12:56.479 bands there where people effectively almost live most of the 1:12:56.560 --> 1:13:00.000 year and the police have been involved in a conference 1:13:00.439 --> 1:13:03.040 with a man who we understand was armed with a knife. 1:13:03.120 --> 1:13:06.320 He had been threatening self harm just after four o'clock, 1:13:06.360 --> 1:13:09.200 so it's only around an hour ago shots rung out. 1:13:09.600 --> 1:13:13.040 Now our understanding is that it's alleged the man had 1:13:13.120 --> 1:13:16.360 lunged at police with that knife and the police had 1:13:16.400 --> 1:13:20.800 opened fire. I'm hearing as many as three shots had 1:13:20.840 --> 1:13:25.000 been fired towards the man. Now he has then been 1:13:25.040 --> 1:13:28.080 taken to hospital. There's been a police convoy all the 1:13:28.080 --> 1:13:32.360 way to Liverpool Hospital from this caravan park in Elderly 1:13:32.960 --> 1:13:34.960 and the man is now being treated in hospital. We 1:13:35.000 --> 1:13:37.799 don't have details of his condition. We are still seeking 1:13:37.800 --> 1:13:40.000 a formal response from the police, but the police have 1:13:40.040 --> 1:13:43.120 given us some basic information about what has occurred. Actually, 1:13:43.760 --> 1:13:46.840 I've just been sent some details right now now. This 1:13:46.960 --> 1:13:51.080 is formally from the police. Critical insolent declared after man's 1:13:51.080 --> 1:13:53.280 shot by police and I'm just reading this to you 1:13:53.800 --> 1:13:55.719 as it comes to me. This says a critical incident 1:13:55.760 --> 1:13:58.280 investigation has been declared after man was shot by police 1:13:58.360 --> 1:14:02.080 during a siege in Sydney, Southwest. At twelve fifteen, police 1:14:02.120 --> 1:14:04.759 were called to a caravan park MacArthur Road at Elderly 1:14:04.880 --> 1:14:07.559 to check on the welfare of an occupant. Officers from 1:14:07.600 --> 1:14:10.759 Camden Police Area Command attended a cabin at the property. 1:14:11.240 --> 1:14:13.519 They attempted to speak to a fifty two year old man. 1:14:13.600 --> 1:14:16.120 A perimeter was established after the man armed himself with 1:14:16.160 --> 1:14:19.799 a knife and made threats to self harm. Specialist resources 1:14:19.840 --> 1:14:23.000 attended to assist. Negotiators attended to speak to the man. 1:14:23.400 --> 1:14:26.679 The man refused to cooperate. Just before three point thirty, 1:14:26.840 --> 1:14:30.760 officers attached to the Tactical Operations Unit gained entry to 1:14:30.800 --> 1:14:35.280 the premises and the armed man rushed officers with a knife. 1:14:36.000 --> 1:14:40.799 Police discharged a taser and the less than lethal tactical rounds, 1:14:40.840 --> 1:14:44.120 which were ineffective before the man was shot. The man 1:14:44.200 --> 1:14:46.880 was immediately treated by New South Wales Ambulance paramedics on 1:14:46.920 --> 1:14:51.000 the scene taken to Liverpool Hospital Critical.

The investigation 1:14:57.479 --> 1:14:59.880 will be reviewed by the Professional Standards Command and overse 1:15:00.280 --> 1:15:03.840 by the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission. So that's the extent 1:15:03.920 --> 1:15:06.360 of the official police statement. So just to confirm what occurred. 1:15:07.080 --> 1:15:10.360 About lunchtime, police are called to the caravan park elders Lee, 1:15:10.520 --> 1:15:13.599 MacArthur Rowe, so it's around the Camden area. The local 1:15:13.640 --> 1:15:16.439 police were told to check on the welfare of a 1:15:16.479 --> 1:15:19.080 man of fifty two year old man inside that particular cabin. 1:15:19.080 --> 1:15:22.040 It's an on site cabin. He has then, in the 1:15:22.040 --> 1:15:24.519 course of trying to speak with this man, he didn't 1:15:24.560 --> 1:15:27.360 cooperate with the police. He has then lunged at them 1:15:27.360 --> 1:15:30.639 with a knife. Police actually brought in the Tactical Operations Unit, 1:15:30.680 --> 1:15:35.960 so effectively police with heavily the riot gear police and 1:15:36.000 --> 1:15:39.480 now during this confrontation police use the taser. They've discharged 1:15:39.479 --> 1:15:42.160 the taser that has not been effective, so they have 1:15:43.160 --> 1:15:46.640 opened fire. The man's been treated on the scene by paramedics. 1:15:46.680 --> 1:15:49.360 He's been taken to Liverpool Hospital in a critical condition 1:15:49.680 --> 1:15:50.559 where he remains. 1:15:51.640 --> 1:15:53.719 Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard. 1:15:54.000 --> 1:15:56.640 If it's happening in your sitting, you'll hear it on 1:15:56.760 --> 1:15:58.000 Sydney Now to. 1:15:58.160 --> 1:16:01.479 GB ten past five developments in the Middle East, the 1:16:01.640 --> 1:16:05.080 conflict between Israel and Iran. There are lots of reports 1:16:05.120 --> 1:16:07.240 about the position of Donald Trump this afternoon. There are 1:16:07.280 --> 1:16:11.800 some suggestions that effectively he's he's given the ok for 1:16:12.280 --> 1:16:15.120 US involvement in the operations against Iran, but he hasn't 1:16:15.120 --> 1:16:18.479 physically signed off on that involvement. He was asked about 1:16:18.479 --> 1:16:19.679 this by reporters this morning. 1:16:19.920 --> 1:16:23.240 You even to answered questions about whether you are moving 1:16:23.320 --> 1:16:26.040 closer you believe the US is moving closer to striking 1:16:26.080 --> 1:16:29.439 Iranian nuclear facilities. Where's your mindset on that You're going to. 1:16:29.439 --> 1:16:30.160 Show that right? 1:16:30.680 --> 1:16:32.799 You don't seriously think I'm going to answer that question? 1:16:33.280 --> 1:16:38.200 Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component? And what time exactly, 1:16:38.240 --> 1:16:41.799 Sir sir would you strike it? Would you please inform 1:16:41.840 --> 1:16:44.720 her so we can be there and watch. You don't 1:16:44.760 --> 1:16:46.519 know that I'm going to even do it? You don't know. 1:16:46.560 --> 1:16:48.000 I may do it, I may not do it. 1:16:48.040 --> 1:16:49.439 I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do. 1:16:49.520 --> 1:16:50.519 I can tell you this is that. 1:16:52.520 --> 1:16:55.800 Iran's got a lot of trouble and they want to negotiate. 1:16:56.840 --> 1:16:59.040 And I said, why didn't you negotiate with me before 1:16:59.160 --> 1:17:02.160 all this death and destruction? Why didn't you ago? I 1:17:02.160 --> 1:17:04.920 said to the people, why didn't you negotiate with me 1:17:04.960 --> 1:17:08.639 two weeks ago? You could have done fine, you would 1:17:08.640 --> 1:17:09.360 have out a country. 1:17:09.960 --> 1:17:11.880 So Donald Trump there says, look, nobody knows what I'm 1:17:11.880 --> 1:17:13.679 going to do. In the end, he is the commander 1:17:13.720 --> 1:17:15.880 in chief. He is the one who will decide what 1:17:15.960 --> 1:17:19.360 to do. Now, almost three hundred, almost three thousand Australians 1:17:19.360 --> 1:17:22.559 have now registered to be evacuated out of Israel and Iran. 1:17:22.920 --> 1:17:25.400 The Foreign Minister Penny Wong has issued a warning today 1:17:25.400 --> 1:17:27.240 saying this is going to be very difficult for the 1:17:27.240 --> 1:17:31.759 government itself to assist people. They are bussing Australians across borders, 1:17:32.200 --> 1:17:35.840 so there's no formal Australian flight that's been authorized at 1:17:35.840 --> 1:17:39.599 this point. Australians are returning home. I want to introduce 1:17:39.640 --> 1:17:41.759 you to a two GB listener. His name is James, 1:17:42.280 --> 1:17:44.920 and he has managed to come back here and things 1:17:44.920 --> 1:17:47.519 were looking pretty grim. Thanks for your time, James. 1:17:48.400 --> 1:17:49.600 Okay, A Clinton, how are you? 1:17:49.800 --> 1:17:51.479 I'm okay, but but how are you going? How are 1:17:51.479 --> 1:17:54.200 you feeling after you you've been through what you've experienced. 1:17:55.120 --> 1:17:55.920 I'm good, Thank you. 1:17:56.200 --> 1:17:58.400 I'm just very relieved to be home, to be back 1:17:58.520 --> 1:18:03.840 on Australian soil. I was evacuated from Israel first thing 1:18:03.880 --> 1:18:06.439 Saturday morning, so I was evacuated very early, and I 1:18:06.439 --> 1:18:08.880 need to thank my amazing boss, Gina ryan Hart, for 1:18:09.160 --> 1:18:13.160 arranging that. I was evacuated to Jordan that morning and 1:18:13.200 --> 1:18:15.760 then attempted to fly home from Jordan that night. All 1:18:15.800 --> 1:18:19.080 of the flights were canceled due to missile fire overhead 1:18:19.080 --> 1:18:20.920 at the airport which was being intercepted, so I had 1:18:20.960 --> 1:18:22.760 to wait another day or two to come home, but 1:18:23.439 --> 1:18:25.800 very thankful to be home. It was a very nerve 1:18:25.800 --> 1:18:29.240 wracking and intense time to be in Israel, and it's 1:18:29.280 --> 1:18:30.759 just it's great to be back in Australia. 1:18:30.840 --> 1:18:33.160 Whereabouts in Israel were you and what were you doing there? 1:18:34.120 --> 1:18:36.559 I was over in Israel on an official delegation with 1:18:36.600 --> 1:18:39.080 the Israeli embassy, so it was a few delegations. At 1:18:39.080 --> 1:18:40.840 the time, I was on a political one with other 1:18:41.040 --> 1:18:44.120 political representatives from both the Labor part in the Liverpool Party. 1:18:43.840 --> 1:18:45.400 And we were touring around Israel. 1:18:45.439 --> 1:18:47.479 We were very fortunate to see a number of sites 1:18:48.200 --> 1:18:50.639 that a lot of people don't get access to, which 1:18:50.680 --> 1:18:54.400 were very very moving in sad sites, especially the October 1:18:54.439 --> 1:18:57.120 seven ones. We went to the Nova music festival. We 1:18:57.160 --> 1:19:00.000 went to Kabutz Bairi, which was the Kibutz which suffer 1:19:00.120 --> 1:19:02.680 the largest death toll and where the Australian died on 1:19:02.720 --> 1:19:05.360 October seventh. We went up to Haifa, which is the 1:19:05.400 --> 1:19:06.080 port city. 1:19:06.280 --> 1:19:08.959 We went to Bershiva, which is in the middle. 1:19:08.760 --> 1:19:10.960 Of Israel, where I see a missile has just struck 1:19:10.960 --> 1:19:13.080 the hospital there in about ten minutes. Down the road 1:19:13.160 --> 1:19:16.720 is the Anzac Memorial which we visited, as well as Jerusalem, 1:19:16.840 --> 1:19:19.920 the Kinnesse at Israel's parliament, and then also to tell Aviv, 1:19:20.320 --> 1:19:24.280 where we were when the offensive against the Iranian nuclear 1:19:24.360 --> 1:19:27.920 assets was launched. So yeah, we got around the country. 1:19:27.920 --> 1:19:29.080 We've got to see a lot of the country, but 1:19:29.160 --> 1:19:32.000 unfortunately our trip was cut short and he was very 1:19:32.000 --> 1:19:32.719 nerve wracking time. 1:19:33.000 --> 1:19:34.960 You mentioned that you do work for Gina Reinhart, so 1:19:35.080 --> 1:19:38.480 she was able to assist you getting home. How complicated 1:19:38.600 --> 1:19:41.080 is it to leave and obviously not everybody has access 1:19:41.080 --> 1:19:42.439 maybe to the assistance you had. 1:19:43.439 --> 1:19:46.479 Yeah, look, it was very difficult to leave because people 1:19:46.560 --> 1:19:51.839 were unsure about the circumstances. I first contacted the Australian embassy. 1:19:51.880 --> 1:19:54.840 They weren't they advised, They weren't doing evacuations straight away 1:19:54.960 --> 1:19:57.720 or taking names for people to be evacuated, which I 1:19:57.720 --> 1:20:00.720 thought was concerning. So I was very full to the 1:20:00.720 --> 1:20:03.360 gener around how it helped arrange my evacuation. We actually 1:20:03.400 --> 1:20:06.560 tried to evacuate multiple people, but due to the capacity 1:20:06.600 --> 1:20:09.280 constraints and the war just happening, there wasn't enough room. 1:20:09.400 --> 1:20:12.280 But I was able to evacuate the rest of my 1:20:12.360 --> 1:20:15.639 group has also been evacuated. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign 1:20:15.680 --> 1:20:18.960 Affairs was able to evacuate them to Jordan, to London 1:20:19.000 --> 1:20:20.080 and then to Australia. 1:20:20.200 --> 1:20:21.559 So it was quite a journey. 1:20:21.560 --> 1:20:23.840 I had to drive four hours through Israel down to 1:20:23.880 --> 1:20:26.040 the border crossing with Jordan, across the border, and then 1:20:26.080 --> 1:20:29.000 drive another four hours up to a man But thankfully 1:20:29.560 --> 1:20:32.720 everyone on my tour and other tours as well, have 1:20:32.800 --> 1:20:35.720 now been evacuated in the process of evacuation, but very 1:20:35.720 --> 1:20:38.479 difficult times because also when you are evacuating, you're not 1:20:38.520 --> 1:20:40.920 close to a protected era of protected space. You're on 1:20:40.960 --> 1:20:43.240 the road, so it is a nerve wracking time driving 1:20:43.240 --> 1:20:43.840 through the roads. 1:20:43.880 --> 1:20:44.599 You were you fraughtened. 1:20:45.800 --> 1:20:48.920 I was nervous because there was nowhere to run if 1:20:48.960 --> 1:20:51.280 there was ballistic missile fire, rocket fire. 1:20:51.320 --> 1:20:52.400 The advice was just. 1:20:52.360 --> 1:20:55.400 To lay along the ground. But thankfully the security team 1:20:56.320 --> 1:20:59.439 arranged the evacuation for the time in which they thought 1:20:59.479 --> 1:21:01.320 there was not going to be any rocket far and 1:21:01.320 --> 1:21:03.000 they were correct in that because most of the rock 1:21:03.000 --> 1:21:06.719 and far does come overnight, although Iran has been launching 1:21:06.760 --> 1:21:09.519 missiles earlier in the afternoon, around three or four o'clock. 1:21:09.640 --> 1:21:12.720 So yeah, it was nerve wracking. I was scared, but 1:21:12.960 --> 1:21:14.800 was just happy to be relieved to a cross the 1:21:14.800 --> 1:21:18.160 border into Jordan and then ultimately fly home to Australia. 1:21:18.280 --> 1:21:21.799 There have been travel warnings for some time for the region. 1:21:22.080 --> 1:21:24.760 Given that was the case, why did you go there 1:21:24.840 --> 1:21:26.559 when it was known that it was dangerous? 1:21:27.560 --> 1:21:28.840 Yeah, well it wasn't. 1:21:28.840 --> 1:21:29.559 I do not travel. 1:21:29.560 --> 1:21:31.840 It was a high exercise of a high degree of caution, 1:21:31.880 --> 1:21:33.760 which is the same travel advice for a number of 1:21:33.760 --> 1:21:36.559 other destinations at Australians visit, but I think it's really 1:21:36.600 --> 1:21:39.760 important to visit the only functioning democracy in the Middle East. 1:21:39.760 --> 1:21:42.160 I mean, Israel is such an advanced nation, whether it's 1:21:42.360 --> 1:21:45.960 the economy, whether it's the military, whether it's venture capital. 1:21:47.040 --> 1:21:49.320 They are our closed as ally in the region, and 1:21:49.320 --> 1:21:52.919 they do so much heavy lifting for regional and global security, 1:21:52.920 --> 1:21:55.240 as we're seeing play out at the moment against the 1:21:55.240 --> 1:21:58.240 Iranian nuclear asis. So it's such an incredible nation and 1:21:58.240 --> 1:22:00.000 I think it's really important I'm not Jewish, to show 1:22:00.160 --> 1:22:02.439 support for the Jewish people globally, so there since there 1:22:02.520 --> 1:22:05.439 been such a huge rise in anti Semitism and in 1:22:05.520 --> 1:22:07.880 hatred of the Jewish people and I of Israel, so 1:22:07.920 --> 1:22:09.720 I think it's really important to get there on the 1:22:09.720 --> 1:22:12.400 ground to understand it experience. It was my first trip 1:22:12.439 --> 1:22:15.040 and I have to say the Iranians have not deterred 1:22:15.040 --> 1:22:17.240 me from going back. I think it's an amazing country 1:22:17.280 --> 1:22:19.240 and I would love to go back when it's safe. 1:22:19.000 --> 1:22:19.439 To do so. 1:22:19.560 --> 1:22:21.720 Hopefully the Australians who are now there and trying to 1:22:21.720 --> 1:22:23.719 get out will be safe. Thank you for your time, James, 1:22:24.160 --> 1:22:26.519 Thanks Clinton, thanks so much, Tod you be listener. James, 1:22:26.560 --> 1:22:28.960 who has now successfully come back. He now he has 1:22:29.080 --> 1:22:31.559 had the assistance. He works for Gina Reinhunt and has 1:22:31.560 --> 1:22:33.400 just told me about that, so she's obviously been able 1:22:33.439 --> 1:22:35.439 to assist him with getting back. But there are three 1:22:35.439 --> 1:22:38.559 thousand Australians actually now who formerly registered who want to 1:22:38.600 --> 1:22:42.160 get out, and it won't be as simple as, for instance, 1:22:42.360 --> 1:22:44.880 ordering a special Quarts flight or a Hercules because there's 1:22:44.880 --> 1:22:47.320 now no fly zones across much of the region, but 1:22:47.439 --> 1:22:50.200 many people will want to come home. Seventeen past five 1:22:50.479 --> 1:22:52.839 twenty one past five the new South Wales government's anounced 1:22:52.840 --> 1:22:55.440 today in the budget that's been handed down next Tuesday, 1:22:55.800 --> 1:22:58.000 there'll be a one hundred and fifty six million dollar 1:22:58.240 --> 1:23:01.759 budget increase for roads in Sydney's northwest. Now this is needed, 1:23:01.960 --> 1:23:04.200 it's very much needed. So there'll be forty nine million 1:23:04.240 --> 1:23:06.920 dollars for the Richmond Road Corridor, which will be from 1:23:06.920 --> 1:23:09.120 the M seven to the Driftway in Richmond. There'll be 1:23:09.160 --> 1:23:11.880 thirty million dollars towards planning for the duplication and the 1:23:11.920 --> 1:23:15.880 future connection of Townsend, Burgend and Roads and Schofields. There'll 1:23:15.880 --> 1:23:18.000 be twenty seven million dollars for the planned to upgrade 1:23:18.160 --> 1:23:20.880 Garfield Road West in Marsdon Park. All of this is 1:23:21.000 --> 1:23:24.320 essential and they're saying these projects will be shovel ready, 1:23:24.320 --> 1:23:26.599 so they'll be ready to go and the money'll be there. 1:23:27.080 --> 1:23:29.240 But I know in the announcement that's been made today, 1:23:29.800 --> 1:23:31.840 it says the joint investment of one hundred and fifty 1:23:31.840 --> 1:23:33.600 six million dollars in new funding is part of a 1:23:33.640 --> 1:23:37.200 broader roads and transport investment in the budget which focuses 1:23:37.240 --> 1:23:40.000 on must have infrastructure in our suburbs and region that 1:23:40.040 --> 1:23:42.479 support liverability and growth, which is all good, and then 1:23:42.560 --> 1:23:46.280 says not vanity mega projects. And I just find that 1:23:46.640 --> 1:23:51.200 a little curious that phrase vanity mega projects. Well, the 1:23:51.240 --> 1:23:53.679 opposition's taken some events to that. They've held a press 1:23:53.680 --> 1:23:56.519 conference and they've not been happy about that because it's 1:23:56.640 --> 1:23:59.599 obviously a bit of a kick at the former coalition government. 1:24:00.400 --> 1:24:03.000 But it's a bit rough calling major projects that the 1:24:03.040 --> 1:24:07.160 previous state government initiated and finished and in some cases 1:24:07.280 --> 1:24:10.160 started vanity projects. Yeah, I'm sure there were some of those, 1:24:11.160 --> 1:24:14.240 but these major projects with things like the Metro that 1:24:14.280 --> 1:24:16.680 the current government has actually then opened the extension of 1:24:16.720 --> 1:24:19.400 and are continuing to the Paramatta and Westmead Metro. I 1:24:19.439 --> 1:24:21.920 mean Metro is good. The West Connects Motorway now the 1:24:21.960 --> 1:24:24.360 West Connex Motorway costs us a small fortune in tolls, 1:24:24.400 --> 1:24:26.679 but in the end it's a good road. We pay 1:24:26.800 --> 1:24:28.960 an absolute mint to use it, but it's a good road. 1:24:29.439 --> 1:24:32.320 What we need from politicians is both We need funding 1:24:32.360 --> 1:24:36.320 for local roads.

You got to keep listening 1:29:01.000 --> 1:29:06.920 to win. Let's check out new headlines how with all 1:29:06.920 --> 1:29:08.799 the latest K four Good afternoon. 1:29:08.840 --> 1:29:11.719 Quinton, a man is fighting for life after being shot 1:29:11.760 --> 1:29:15.800 by police at a caravan park in Elderly in Sydney, Southwest. 1:29:16.160 --> 1:29:19.080 Police say he was armed with a knife and rushed 1:29:19.080 --> 1:29:23.040 at officers before he was shot. A critical incident investigation 1:29:23.320 --> 1:29:26.599 has been launched. The world is waiting to see what 1:29:26.640 --> 1:29:30.160 the US President does next as he considers whether to 1:29:30.200 --> 1:29:34.080 bomb a nuclear site in Iran. Israel wants Donald Trump 1:29:34.120 --> 1:29:37.880 to attack the photo plant with a special bunker buster bomb. 1:29:38.280 --> 1:29:42.320 Australia's unemployment rates come in at four point one percent 1:29:42.400 --> 1:29:44.760 for May, but the number of people in work has 1:29:44.840 --> 1:29:48.840 fallen slightly. More than two thousand jobs were lost last month. 1:29:49.320 --> 1:29:52.200 And heading the ball in soccer can affect the brain. 1:29:52.640 --> 1:29:57.160 University of Sydney researchers found headers cause subtle changes even 1:29:57.200 --> 1:30:01.519 when there's no immediate cognitive impairment. In sports, state of 1:30:01.560 --> 1:30:05.839 origin fever is continuing with women's under nineteens teams about 1:30:05.840 --> 1:30:08.679 to kick off on the Sunshine Coast. It's the first 1:30:08.720 --> 1:30:12.080 game in a double header with the men's under nineteen's fixture, 1:30:12.360 --> 1:30:15.920 which kicks off later tonight. Clinton More News at six p. 1:30:16.000 --> 1:30:18.240 K Kati fourteen degrees in the city, eleven degrees in 1:30:18.240 --> 1:30:20.280 the western suburbs. We were talking a little earlier this 1:30:20.320 --> 1:30:24.120 hour about electric vehicles and how the drivers of electric 1:30:24.240 --> 1:30:27.280 vehicles can contribute to road costs because they don't pay 1:30:27.320 --> 1:30:30.840 fuel excise and Jim Charmers gentleman Jim has now decided, yes, 1:30:31.000 --> 1:30:32.760 there is going to need to be a tax for 1:30:33.040 --> 1:30:35.800 ed drivers. From one of my listeners on the text line. 1:30:35.800 --> 1:30:37.760 I travel about one thousand k's a week in an 1:30:37.760 --> 1:30:41.599 electric vehicle. The road user charge, based on what's being suggested, 1:30:41.640 --> 1:30:44.120 would cost me thirty dollars a week. I use my 1:30:44.200 --> 1:30:47.720 petrol card as well, and it's roughly forty dollars on 1:30:47.800 --> 1:30:52.240 fuel exise, so it would probably match up fairly well. 1:30:52.560 --> 1:30:56.120 Finance update, Scott Hayward is hosting Money News, filling in 1:30:56.160 --> 1:30:58.320 for deb Night tonight. Hello Scott Clinton. 1:30:58.400 --> 1:31:00.320 A pretty flat day today, which is it's not a 1:31:00.320 --> 1:31:02.920 bad result as we just heard in the news. It 1:31:03.040 --> 1:31:05.840 really is about a pausing for investors at the moment, 1:31:05.880 --> 1:31:07.719 not just here but globally as we wait to see 1:31:07.720 --> 1:31:10.280 what Donald Trump will all won't do in relation to 1:31:10.720 --> 1:31:14.280 the Israel and Iran situation. There was minimal movement overnight 1:31:14.360 --> 1:31:16.760 in the US and our market today closing down just 1:31:16.800 --> 1:31:20.360 seven points to eighty five and twenty three. The big 1:31:20.400 --> 1:31:22.680 news really the Comwealth Bank, which is so important. Were 1:31:22.640 --> 1:31:25.599 going to talk about tonight with Tony Sycamore at our 1:31:25.640 --> 1:31:28.280 market wrap up one and a half percent to one 1:31:28.360 --> 1:31:30.920 hundred and eighty two dollars eighty five, a fresh record high. 1:31:30.920 --> 1:31:34.360 Westpac hire nab high. The banks are making so much 1:31:34.400 --> 1:31:36.720 money out of US Clinton, but they are literally the 1:31:36.920 --> 1:31:40.479 license to print money. Aristocrat also higher and clean Way 1:31:40.600 --> 1:31:43.519 was up as well. So again it's really about the banks. 1:31:43.520 --> 1:31:45.200 And it's so important because I you're a member of 1:31:45.240 --> 1:31:48.160 Australian Super or many of the industry or many retail 1:31:48.200 --> 1:31:51.240 funds and you do have a growth or high growth portfolio. 1:31:51.600 --> 1:31:53.479 Four of the top ten stocks you've probably got in 1:31:53.520 --> 1:31:54.559 Australia are the banks. 1:31:54.600 --> 1:31:55.920 Yeah, certainly the way to look at it. If you 1:31:56.200 --> 1:31:57.800 don't want to pay bank fees, we're still gonna have 1:31:57.840 --> 1:31:59.400 to pay them. But if you want to profit, buy 1:31:59.400 --> 1:32:01.280 some banks shares, but you've got them in Super anyway. 1:32:01.439 --> 1:32:04.200 Unemployment figures out today four point nine percent for the 1:32:04.280 --> 1:32:06.559 last month. Does that have much of an impact on the market. 1:32:06.800 --> 1:32:09.200 No, I didn't. I'm surprised. David Bassiness is going to 1:32:09.240 --> 1:32:10.559 join me show at the top of the show just 1:32:10.600 --> 1:32:13.800 after seven o'clock. A drop from part time work to 1:32:13.840 --> 1:32:16.680 full time work was absorbed. The market did drop by 1:32:16.680 --> 1:32:18.719 two and a half thousand workers over the month, which 1:32:18.920 --> 1:32:22.040 I found a little bit surprising. Participation rate slightly week 1:32:22.120 --> 1:32:24.479 at sixty seven percent. Of course, we did get the 1:32:24.479 --> 1:32:27.200 benefit of the election, so some people work casually and 1:32:27.280 --> 1:32:29.640 part time through that period, so we have to have 1:32:29.720 --> 1:32:32.240 that as an impact. But I do think going forward 1:32:32.280 --> 1:32:35.479 that a lot of the private sector jobs will be 1:32:35.600 --> 1:32:37.800 made flat. But I really think that a lot of 1:32:37.840 --> 1:32:39.880 government jobs could be under threat over the next two 1:32:39.920 --> 1:32:42.719 to three years. Despite the fact that labor were reelected 1:32:42.800 --> 1:32:45.400 and they've said that the public service will be supported. 1:32:45.439 --> 1:32:47.240 I just think there's too many of them. And as 1:32:47.240 --> 1:32:49.000 I said, I'm going to talk to David Bassoni's about 1:32:49.000 --> 1:32:50.320 that right at the top of the show on News. 1:32:50.360 --> 1:32:52.080 We'll hear you from seven o'clock filling in for deab Night. 1:32:52.120 --> 1:32:54.519 Thank you, Scott got Clinton, Scott Hayward tonight with Money 1:32:54.560 --> 1:32:56.040 News on Sydney. 1:32:56.080 --> 1:32:59.240 Now a weather update will be here to help him 1:32:59.400 --> 1:33:03.160 unexpected good weather Nrima Insurance a help company. 1:33:03.479 --> 1:33:05.040 It was a nice afternoon of that on mean. It 1:33:05.080 --> 1:33:08.519 should remain dry this evening. Top temperatures at the moment 1:33:08.560 --> 1:33:10.439 fourteen degrees in the city, eleven degrees in the west. 1:33:10.479 --> 1:33:12.719 It's going to get quite cool this evening though Tomorrow 1:33:12.800 --> 1:33:15.519 mostly sunny day with the forecast top of seventeen. Could 1:33:15.560 --> 1:33:18.040 be some patches of frost and even fog in the 1:33:18.040 --> 1:33:21.000 western suburbs. Tomorrow morning. Across the weekend, the all important 1:33:21.040 --> 1:33:24.280 weekend forecast sunny on Saturday, with eighteen sunny on Sunday 1:33:24.360 --> 1:33:26.960 and nineteen and into next week. Really nice weather actually 1:33:26.960 --> 1:33:30.280 for Monday, sunny and twenty two degrees forecast for Monday. 1:33:30.560 --> 1:33:33.639 If it matters to you, you'll hear it here Sydney 1:33:33.680 --> 1:33:36.040 Now with Clinton Maynard until six. 1:33:36.680 --> 1:33:38.560 Mark Guy are about to make his return for the 1:33:38.600 --> 1:33:41.720 weekend from Perth after watching Origin Too and commentating for 1:33:41.720 --> 1:33:42.880 the Continuous Call team. 1:33:42.960 --> 1:33:45.800 What a game, MG, barklnd Gay buddy. It's been a 1:33:45.800 --> 1:33:49.120 big few days and yeah, you're right at Perth Airport 1:33:49.160 --> 1:33:53.120 ready to come back into the Mighty East. What was 1:33:53.120 --> 1:33:54.760 that game last night? Just had it all? I mean 1:33:56.080 --> 1:33:59.040 at half time obviously the biggest talking point was the 1:33:59.080 --> 1:34:04.600 penalty count Ill look New South was that bad? Probably not? 1:34:04.800 --> 1:34:08.160 But knew Queens Meander a better team in the first half. 1:34:08.240 --> 1:34:10.960 Let's just put that on the table. Yeah they played, 1:34:10.960 --> 1:34:13.080 they handed the conditions, but are they A couple of 1:34:13.080 --> 1:34:17.880 subtle changes from Billy Slater worked perfectly. I think I 1:34:17.960 --> 1:34:23.440 spoke to you when this second game's teams were announced 1:34:23.439 --> 1:34:26.080 and I said, I'm not too sure about urt Cape well, well, 1:34:26.200 --> 1:34:29.000 blow me down. He was very close to the man 1:34:29.040 --> 1:34:32.080 the match last night along with Kevin Monster and our 1:34:32.080 --> 1:34:34.000 homes in the centers with Hammer on the wing. I 1:34:34.000 --> 1:34:37.519 mean defensively the Hammer was a little bit off when 1:34:37.960 --> 1:34:41.400 they'll go down his side with Latrelle and Bryan Tyer. 1:34:41.800 --> 1:34:47.120 But look vour Holmes in origin player and the goal 1:34:47.200 --> 1:34:49.760 kicking has been the difference, winning with kick three from 1:34:49.880 --> 1:34:52.800 ten New South Wales and Queen's to kick six from seven. 1:34:52.920 --> 1:34:55.479 So that's that's that's a story of play. 1:34:55.600 --> 1:34:58.760 And Kurt Caple typified that what is Moraines players? You 1:34:58.800 --> 1:35:01.519 put the Marines jersey on, you might not be playing 1:35:01.520 --> 1:35:03.320 that well at club level and you turned on. It 1:35:03.360 --> 1:35:04.840 was put to him during the week the build up 1:35:04.960 --> 1:35:08.080 MG that apparently in the NRL he has just mount 1:35:08.120 --> 1:35:09.920 the most mistackles in the game at the moment and 1:35:09.960 --> 1:35:11.760 he said it wasn't aware of that. Well, didn't matter 1:35:11.840 --> 1:35:13.280 last night because he was whacking people. 1:35:13.880 --> 1:35:16.479 Yeah, that's it. I made the fact at that same 1:35:16.479 --> 1:35:19.400 point to Haulsey on the well were sports last night? 1:35:19.400 --> 1:35:22.120 I said, you know that Cables missed more tackles than anyone, 1:35:22.320 --> 1:35:25.479 and I suppose he kind of thought, you know what, Well, 1:35:25.680 --> 1:35:27.439 tonight I'm going to show him because he was in everything. 1:35:27.479 --> 1:35:29.960 It was every time there was a little mini break 1:35:29.960 --> 1:35:33.479 from New South Wales, so you'd see number eleven or 1:35:33.760 --> 1:35:36.240 where number he had in his back fifteen sixteen. But 1:35:36.280 --> 1:35:39.519 he's just a he just DIDs on balls. He's you know, 1:35:39.760 --> 1:35:43.040 he hit ups were there. Yeah. Look, it was just 1:35:43.080 --> 1:35:45.439 a great, good origin game. That's the third game that's 1:35:45.479 --> 1:35:47.960 been over here in Perth yep, and the first two 1:35:48.000 --> 1:35:50.519 have been New South Wales floggings of the Coisland. That 1:35:50.600 --> 1:35:53.360 last night was a real good taste of what's to 1:35:53.360 --> 1:35:55.240 come for the for the public overhare and. 1:35:55.240 --> 1:35:57.200 That's it was actually a good game. Okay, we didn't win, 1:35:58.320 --> 1:36:00.280 but but to have us make that comeback in the 1:36:00.280 --> 1:36:02.040 second half which would have been the biggest comeback of 1:36:02.080 --> 1:36:04.400 all time. You mentioned bron T was just for a 1:36:04.400 --> 1:36:07.040 little okay, sure, but he's so nuggety. He was so good. 1:36:07.120 --> 1:36:10.800 I thought last night he's fantastic, you know. And the 1:36:10.840 --> 1:36:12.760 good thing I was suppose about game three was that 1:36:12.880 --> 1:36:15.720 Latrell and Steph and Crichton had relatively quiet games for 1:36:15.760 --> 1:36:20.960 their illustrious portfolio. I mean the weather. Yeah, so I 1:36:21.000 --> 1:36:23.280 think Coensland definitely helped handle a lot better. 1:36:23.400 --> 1:36:25.439 But you know what, when I was thinking the same 1:36:25.439 --> 1:36:27.960 thing about the trail, right, are you thinking, you know, 1:36:28.120 --> 1:36:30.920 superstar player, what's he doing? And then he pulls off 1:36:30.960 --> 1:36:34.439 that strip, which that almost won them the game because 1:36:34.560 --> 1:36:36.800 he's the sort of player just pulls something out of 1:36:36.840 --> 1:36:39.200 his backside and turns a game. And he did that. 1:36:39.240 --> 1:36:40.439 He almost did that last night. 1:36:40.880 --> 1:36:43.280 He did he did and you know when I think 1:36:43.320 --> 1:36:45.719 about it, except he except Ryan to for three tries 1:36:46.200 --> 1:36:49.040 through the last parts, for three of his tries. So look, 1:36:49.080 --> 1:36:51.520 it was just a great game. The amophere was sensational. 1:36:52.160 --> 1:36:55.240 The per public were treated to a fantastic contest. And 1:36:55.640 --> 1:36:57.439 all I say is bring on game three because I 1:36:57.479 --> 1:36:58.000 cannot wait. 1:36:58.240 --> 1:37:01.879 Well, okay, question for you, she should actually climb referee 1:37:01.920 --> 1:37:04.000 game through because you know, Laurie Daily has been in 1:37:04.040 --> 1:37:07.000 his own sort of way critical today it was. The 1:37:07.080 --> 1:37:09.240 penalty count was ridiculously lopsided. 1:37:09.800 --> 1:37:13.599 Yep, it's the most I think it seems been penalized 1:37:13.600 --> 1:37:17.840 in the history of original in one half eight penalties. 1:37:18.680 --> 1:37:20.200 And look, you can have you get have a case 1:37:20.240 --> 1:37:24.120 for maybe half of them. But look, I don't want 1:37:24.120 --> 1:37:27.200 to sit here and disparage the ref because it's jobs 1:37:27.200 --> 1:37:30.400 start with. But to answer your question, yeah, why not. 1:37:30.479 --> 1:37:34.720 But I think I don't think he'll be that unfavorable 1:37:34.800 --> 1:37:37.559 to the Blues in game three. I think that you know, 1:37:37.720 --> 1:37:40.160 every fifty to fifty went the queens Lands way, which 1:37:40.200 --> 1:37:43.720 is which was disappointing. But yeah, look new so well, 1:37:44.080 --> 1:37:46.599 they won't make any changes for game throughout, although I'm 1:37:46.640 --> 1:37:50.160 reading this morning that maybe Nathan Cleary and pay Half 1:37:50.240 --> 1:37:54.000 both took injuries into the game last night and it 1:37:54.080 --> 1:37:56.000 was only until the warm up that they got there. 1:37:56.000 --> 1:37:59.080 All clear, that's safe, am save Cleary? 1:37:59.200 --> 1:37:59.479 Right? 1:37:59.560 --> 1:38:02.160 And yeah he was quiet, but he did go for 1:38:02.200 --> 1:38:04.240 a try, scored a try that was dislods of obstruction. 1:38:04.360 --> 1:38:07.519 But just say he's ruled out. Mitchell Roses is ruled out? 1:38:07.840 --> 1:38:09.120 Who plays half back of Clear? 1:38:09.160 --> 1:38:12.160 He's out Chita from the Dolphins. 1:38:12.200 --> 1:38:18.000 Wow, I think he's you know, when when guys are 1:38:18.000 --> 1:38:19.400 in the performer, he's in. 1:38:19.720 --> 1:38:22.160 I think you've got to pluck him from obscurity and 1:38:22.160 --> 1:38:23.519 put him in the big blue jersey. 1:38:23.520 --> 1:38:26.679 Brother, What was like running out of the game, ball 1:38:26.680 --> 1:38:27.400 you walked out the game? 1:38:28.280 --> 1:38:31.840 That was awesome. That was awesome. It was pouring rain 1:38:32.800 --> 1:38:35.160 of the day and then the come and grab me 1:38:35.200 --> 1:38:37.120 and said I'm doing it now. I said, can't wa 1:38:37.120 --> 1:38:39.600 wait till the rains that I had made this, So 1:38:39.600 --> 1:38:42.320 I went down put the jersey on, and just as 1:38:42.320 --> 1:38:44.880 I put the jersey on Clinton, the rain stopped. My friend, 1:38:45.840 --> 1:38:49.559 there was divine intervention from above and there was awesome 1:38:49.600 --> 1:38:52.320 that I went out and I know the blokes from 1:38:52.360 --> 1:38:55.560 wolf Mutter who performed last night. So all of a 1:38:55.560 --> 1:38:57.120 sudden I'm about to put the ball on the plube 1:38:57.160 --> 1:39:03.439 and Andrew stockda from out mate. Yeah, my great honor, 1:39:03.479 --> 1:39:06.920 a great honor, and probably having the connection to Perth 1:39:06.960 --> 1:39:11.280 that I've got and being with two g with I 1:39:11.320 --> 1:39:13.400 just want to thank Westpac and the NRL for the opportunity. 1:39:13.479 --> 1:39:15.920 Well, now that you've been back to Perth after this time, 1:39:17.160 --> 1:39:18.880 what do you think the chances are of the Bears 1:39:18.880 --> 1:39:20.599 in terms of winning out of the Perth public? What 1:39:20.600 --> 1:39:21.559 are they fighting there? 1:39:22.000 --> 1:39:24.439 Well, that's the biggest problem. That's the biggest obstacle going 1:39:24.479 --> 1:39:29.479 forward facing this new seventeenth two because eighteh and whatever 1:39:29.479 --> 1:39:34.200 they are. The WA media is basically run by Kerry Stakes, 1:39:34.240 --> 1:39:36.800 who is the owner of Channel seven, is the owner 1:39:36.840 --> 1:39:39.960 of the Western Australian paper that is their number one 1:39:39.960 --> 1:39:42.880 paper over here. In this morning there was in the 1:39:42.920 --> 1:39:46.960 bottom left hand side of the front page a disparaging 1:39:47.800 --> 1:39:53.280 headline about something about two Eastern States rugby teams come 1:39:53.320 --> 1:39:54.639 and try and bush each other. 1:39:54.840 --> 1:39:55.400 And that was it. 1:39:55.520 --> 1:39:56.719 That was all we had in the paper. 1:39:56.920 --> 1:39:58.800 Sixty thousand people there in the rain. 1:39:59.439 --> 1:40:02.400 May they look, something's got to happen. Look, they've got 1:40:02.400 --> 1:40:04.639 to be there's gotta be someone break bread with each other. 1:40:04.960 --> 1:40:06.439 I don't know where the land he's got to get 1:40:06.439 --> 1:40:09.479 into bed with Kerry Stakes, who is who is a 1:40:09.479 --> 1:40:12.280 life member of the South Sydney Rabbits. Mind you, that 1:40:12.400 --> 1:40:14.200 was bestowed upon him back in two thousand and four. 1:40:14.360 --> 1:40:18.360 So he has got a connection to rugby league. Do 1:40:18.400 --> 1:40:21.519 you see the Bears obviously was Kerry stakes right hand 1:40:21.560 --> 1:40:25.480 man and now he's gone. I think I think we're 1:40:25.520 --> 1:40:28.960 seeing that how pete off Kerry Stakes actually is with 1:40:29.040 --> 1:40:33.439 the whole you know, Western Bears, Perth Bears alignment. So 1:40:34.160 --> 1:40:36.800 what's his space? But I look to survive, you know, 1:40:37.160 --> 1:40:38.840 the media with you all against you just need to 1:40:38.880 --> 1:40:41.120 be They need to be spoken about in some way. 1:40:41.160 --> 1:40:44.880 And look, I know that the Swans and the g 1:40:45.120 --> 1:40:48.000 WS Giants have a similar problem in Sydney, but at 1:40:48.080 --> 1:40:50.679 least we respect them for who they are. We don't 1:40:50.680 --> 1:40:53.200 try and block them out that they're trying to guts 1:40:53.200 --> 1:40:55.360 out to have a piece, have a little finger hold 1:40:55.360 --> 1:40:57.080 in Sydney. Obviously they're never going to take over the 1:40:57.120 --> 1:41:00.200 Rugby League, similar to the Perth Bears whenever we're going 1:41:00.200 --> 1:41:02.760 to take over the AFL ever ever to ANFL dominated city, 1:41:02.760 --> 1:41:05.599 but always want to. We want to amalgamate, not take over. 1:41:05.880 --> 1:41:08.360 MG save travels back home from Perth. We're going to 1:41:08.360 --> 1:41:08.880 talk tomorrow. 1:41:09.360 --> 1:41:11.040 Oh way, buddy, so mate, Mark Guy. 1:41:11.360 --> 1:41:13.040 Word on the street is thanks to Temper, a great 1:41:13.120 --> 1:41:15.800 night's sleep, night after night. The difference is Temper. If 1:41:15.800 --> 1:41:18.160 there's something you want us to investigate that qualifies for 1:41:18.200 --> 1:41:19.800 a word on the street, and then every Friday we 1:41:19.840 --> 1:41:22.439 give away two Temper cooling pillows, the best one of 1:41:22.479 --> 1:41:24.759 the wheat works six hundred dollars. Word on the Street 1:41:24.800 --> 1:41:27.240 came from one of our bus driving listeners who told 1:41:27.240 --> 1:41:29.760 me about the problems with the open card technology. Now, 1:41:29.800 --> 1:41:32.600 Transport for New South Wales says ninety nine percent of 1:41:32.640 --> 1:41:35.920 occasions the open card works. My bus driver told us, well, no, 1:41:36.120 --> 1:41:38.599 thirty to forty percent of the time it's failing. Plenty 1:41:38.600 --> 1:41:40.400 of you told me that you try to tap on 1:41:40.439 --> 1:41:41.920 and that doesn't work. A few of you tell me 1:41:41.960 --> 1:41:44.360 you don't tap on anyway. Well that's your call. But 1:41:44.400 --> 1:41:45.760 if you've got a word on the street for me 1:41:45.920 --> 1:41:49.879 for temper, send me an email tonight t GB dot com. 1:41:49.920 --> 1:41:53.040 Just the latest regarding the shooting that's occurred in Elderly 1:41:53.160 --> 1:41:56.160 at the caravan park this afternoon. Police will be making 1:41:56.160 --> 1:41:59.200 a formal statement at half past six tonight at Durell 1:41:59.280 --> 1:42:02.360 And Police Station with the Assistant Commissioner Brett McFadden. So 1:42:02.680 --> 1:42:04.639 what we have now been able to confirm is there 1:42:04.680 --> 1:42:07.439 was a siege at the caravan park. Police were called 1:42:07.439 --> 1:42:10.360 there around lunchtime with a man who had been threatening 1:42:10.400 --> 1:42:13.559 self harm. Now they tried to speak with the man 1:42:13.600 --> 1:42:17.519 for several hours. Eventually they've brought in the Tactical Response 1:42:17.560 --> 1:42:22.000 Group such was their concern and at one point the man, 1:42:22.040 --> 1:42:25.599 according to the police, has lunged with them with a knife. 1:42:26.560 --> 1:42:29.479 The police have then used a taser that has failed. 1:42:29.880 --> 1:42:32.519 They then opened fire. The man has been shot. He 1:42:32.680 --> 1:42:35.839 is now in Liverpool Hospital in a critical condition. 1:42:36.800 --> 1:42:39.040 You want to know what's happening in Sydney. 1:42:39.439 --> 1:42:43.160 Stay tuned to Sydney Now with Clinton and on to 1:42:43.439 --> 1:42:44.679 gb Clement. 1:42:44.720 --> 1:42:47.519 The text line says, well done for Spencer and Ezra 1:42:48.680 --> 1:42:51.880 hugging it out as we've heard about from Pete David 1:42:51.880 --> 1:42:54.280 and that'll be in nine years now. Look, I don't 1:42:54.320 --> 1:42:56.800 think Ezra Man should have been part of Origin last night. 1:42:57.360 --> 1:43:00.519 My opinion, I think he probably shouldn't be playing rugby 1:43:00.560 --> 1:43:02.120 league at the moment. Not to say you shouldn't play 1:43:02.160 --> 1:43:04.599 rugby league again, but I think now was a little 1:43:04.600 --> 1:43:07.680 bit too early. This morning, I was on YouTube and 1:43:07.760 --> 1:43:10.200 it was released today, the trailer for what I think 1:43:10.280 --> 1:43:12.120 is going to be a fantastic new movie that's going 1:43:12.160 --> 1:43:25.519 to be released at the end of the year. Well, 1:43:25.560 --> 1:43:27.200 you know, I'm a bit of a fan of Bruce Springsteen. 1:43:27.720 --> 1:43:33.080 Forget politics, just I love his music. Well, there'll be 1:43:33.120 --> 1:43:35.760 a bio pick released later this year October. It's going 1:43:35.840 --> 1:43:39.960 to be called Deliver Me Nowhere. It stars Jeremy Allen White. 1:43:40.760 --> 1:43:42.679 And that's Jeremy Allen White. That's part of the trailer 1:43:42.680 --> 1:43:45.479 where he's on stage playing Bruce Born to one. Now, 1:43:45.800 --> 1:43:48.000 if you don't know that name, you might know the show. 1:43:48.040 --> 1:43:50.479 It's very well regarded called the Bear. He's the main star. 1:43:50.520 --> 1:43:52.439 Actually think the Bearer has been overrated, but he's the 1:43:52.479 --> 1:43:55.040 main star and the Bear. And he plays Bruce Springsteen 1:43:55.160 --> 1:43:58.760 in this movie. Based on the trailer, it looks sensational 1:43:58.800 --> 1:44:00.080 and I'm a bit of a fan of me U 1:44:00.280 --> 1:44:03.840 bio Pick movies. I thought Rocketman was excellent about Elton John. 1:44:03.960 --> 1:44:08.599 The Bohemian Rhapsody by a Pick was outstanding on Freddie 1:44:08.600 --> 1:44:12.040 Mercury and Queen. I reckon this one might top them all. 1:44:12.400 --> 1:44:15.240 So it's on the Boss. It's called deliver me nowhere 1:44:15.240 --> 1:44:16.240 to be out in October. 1:44:17.040 --> 1:44:20.320 Time to expose your minds. Do you may begin your 1:44:20.400 --> 1:44:22.320 questioning on Sydney. 1:44:21.880 --> 1:44:24.520 Now Chustians questions, religion's questions. 1:44:24.560 --> 1:44:26.840 That's an important to pay attention.
